About the Books
Bernard Cornwell built the Richard Sharpe novels around real campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars, and this set captures the series at its most intense. Sharpe's Honour drops the newly promoted officer into the chaos following the Vitoria campaign, where a stolen diplomatic treaty and a vengeful enemy force him to fight for his reputation as much as his life. Sharpe's Regiment sends him home to England, where corruption and recruitment fraud threaten the very unit he has bled for, forcing him to out-maneuver enemies in Whitehall rather than on the battlefield. Sharpe's Siege moves the action to the French Atlantic coast during the brutal winter of 1814, as Sharpe commands a small, exposed force against a fortified enemy while political agendas complicate the mission. Sharpe's Revenge follows the uneasy peace after Napoleon's first abdication, pulling Sharpe into a manhunt across Europe when he is wrongly accused of theft and must clear his name. Sharpe's Waterloo closes the set at the single most famous battle of the era, as Napoleon returns from exile and Sharpe is thrust into the chaotic, blood-soaked fight that will decide the fate of Europe. Together, these five novels trace an arc from frontline skirmishes to Sharpe's finest hour, delivered in Cornwell's signature lean, propulsive prose. Readers get a panoramic, historically grounded view of the last years of the Napoleonic Wars, filled with sieges, marches, political scheming, and hard-won battlefield victories that have made this series a benchmark of modern historical fiction.
