Sharpe’s Storm

Richard Sharpe and the Invasion of Southern France, 1813

By: Bernard Cornwell

Narrated by: Rupert Farley

A gripping novel featuring the legendary Richard Sharpe from Bernard Cornwell, the internationally bestselling master of historical fiction widely recognized as “the most prolific and successful historical novelist in the world today” (Wall Street Journal).

The year is 1813. France is a battlefield, and winter shows no mercy. Amid brutal conditions, Major Richard Sharpe finds himself saddled with an unexpected burden: Rear-Admiral Sir Joel Chase, dispatched by the Admiralty with sealed orders, unshakable confidence, and a frankly terrifying enthusiasm for combat.

Sharpe’s mission from Wellington is clear, yet anything but simple: Keep Sir Joel alive.

Sir Joel could hold the key to defeating Napoleon once and for all. But to pull off his audacious plan, he needs someone who knows how to fight dirty, think fast, and survive the impossible.

He needs Sharpe…

All the best characters are back

A great read as always and thanks to having read all the other Sharpe novels Cornwell brings back some of the best characters for this book. Al always Sharpe gets the gal.

The Rifles are Back!

Richard Sharpe and Company are like long lost family stopping in for a visit! There doorsare aways open.

Just one more golden tale of Richard Sharpe

Another brilliant tale by a a master teller of tales. Even the abysmal narrator couldn’t ruin it .

Sharpe as enjoyable as ever

Hooray for Cornwell, as he fills in the nooks and crannies of Sharpe’s story. Another good story completed neatly with a bit of dry humor, as Lord Wellington admires that necklace. <G>

Sharpe goes on

Sharpe goes on. The British are fighting on French soil. Sharpe is helping prepare for Bayonne. He spends a little time on boats and helps with bridge building.
