Sharpe's
Sword |
| Richard
Sharpe was once again at war. But this time his enemy was a single man - the ruthless,
sadistic Colonel Leroux. Sharpe's mission was to safeguard El Mirador, the spy whose network of agents was vital to the British victory. So Sharpe must enter a new world of political and military intrigue. And in the unfamiliar surroundings of aristocratic Spanish society, his only guide is the beautiful Marquesa - a woman with her own secrets to conceal... Reviews "This book in the Sharpe series is one of my all time favorites because it illustrates the reguard that Sgt Harper has for his commanding officer. Wounded by a sadistic enemy officer, Sharpe's only hope lays in his friend Harper and Harper's construction of a replacement sword for Sharpe. While such a relationship between an officer and sgt probably was unheard of, it still makes a facinating read. One sees a strong resemblance between the Sharpe/Harper relationship and the Frodo/Sam relationship in the Lord of the Rings Series by Tolkien. Cornwell does a good job humanizing his characters in this book and making them seem so real to the reader. " "For anyone who has seen the Sharpe series on TV, I would strongly recommend reading the books. They are very different from the TV version, but just similar enough that you can hear Sean Bean uttering Sharpe's sentences. A must-read for fans, and a great novel for people who've never seen the TV version. "
