*The brand new novel in the global bestselling series, SHARPE'S ASSASSIN, is available to buy now*

Spain, July 1809

Lieutenant Richard Sharpe faces not only great danger on the battlefield but also, even more dangerous, treachery within his own ranks. But as the enemy approaches, he must pick up his rifle and prepare to lead his men against the French at one of the biggest, bloodiest fights of the war - the Battle of Talavera.

Out of the mist comes the roaring, undefeated army sent by Emperor Napoleon. Over their heads soar the Eagles, the standards touched by the hand of the Emperor himself. And boldly waiting for them is Sharpe . . .

'A master storyteller' DAILY TELEGRAPH

Medlemsvurdering:
Dette var Den første boken Bernard Cornwell skreiv, men det er ikkje den første i serien om Richard Sharpe. Boka handler om ein manns mål, og hans vilje til å stå på. Sharpe ender i trøbbel etter at hans befal gjør ein stor feil. Sharpe får skylden for befalet vil ikkje ha på seg at han har tabbet seg ut. For å beholde jobben må Sharpe gjøre det utrolige. Han må skaffe ein ørn, gitt til eit kompani av selveste Napoleon. Vil Sharpe klare dette? Boka gjenngir slaget ved Tellavera i relativt god detalj, og dette gjør boka veldig interressant for folk som ønsker å lese litt om Napolions krigen.

– Sharpe's Eagle is the first of many books by Bernard Cornwell in which his character, Richard Sharpe is a member of the British army in the years around 1800. I didn't read the book in the order they were written, I read them chronologically, but this book is still the best regardless. This book introduces Cornwell's fantastic writing style, he educates us of the British actions throughout many different campaigns. He is very detailed on a number of subjects, from how the battle was fought to the steps in which a cannon is loaded. In this book an arrogant Sir Henry Simmerson, thinking he knows best, goes on to disgrace his whole unit by losing the Kings colours. It's then down to Sharpe, with the help of his immense bravery and courage to restore his regiment's honour.
It's a great introduction to a truly interesting and gripping series....
