Résumé
From New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell, compelling installments 12-15 in the world-renowned Sharpe series, chronicling the rise of Richard Sharpe, a Private in His Majesty's Army. SHARPE'S TIGER The year is 1799, and Richard Sharpe is just beginning his military career. An inexperienced young private in His Majesty's service, Sharpe becomes part of an expedition to India to push the ruthless Tippoo of Mysore from his throne, posing as a deserter to make contact with a spy held prisoner in his city.
Picking his way through an exotic and alien world. Sharpe realizes that one slip will mean disaster. And when the furious British assault on the city finally begins, Sharpe must take up arms against his true comrades to preserve his false identity, risking death at their hands in order to avoid detection and thus to foil the Tippoo's well-set trap. SHARPE'S TRIUMPH India, 1803. It is four years since Richard Sharpe earned his sergeant's stripes at the siege of Seringapatam, and four years in which Sharpe seems to have discovered the easiest billet in the British army.
But that comfort is shattered when he witnesses a murderous act of treachery by an English officer who defects from the East India Company to join a mercenary army commanded by Sharpe's nemesis, Anthony Pohlman. After being ordered to join the hunt for the renegade officer, Sharpe finds himself caught up in the historic battle of Assaye, where he is plunged into the white heat of battle-if he can survive.
SHARPE'S BATTLEQuartered in a crumbling Portuguese fort, Richard Sharpe and his men are attacked by an elite French unit, led by an old enemy of Sharpe's, and suffer heavy losses. The army's high command blame Sharpe for the disaster and his military career seems to be ruined. His only hope is to redeem himself on the battlefield. So with his honour at stake, against an overwhelming number of French troops, Sharpe leads his men to battle in the narrow streets of Fuentes de Oñoro.
SHARPE'S DEVILFive years after the Battle of Waterloo, Sharpe's peaceful retirement in Normandy is shattered. An old friend, Don Blas Vivar, is missing in Chile, reported dead at rebel hands - a report his wife refuses to believe. She appeals to Sharpe to find out the truth. Sharpe, along with Patrick Harper, find themselves bound for Chile via St. Helena, where they have a fateful meeting with the fallen Emperor Napoleon.
Convinced that they are on their way to collect a corpse, neither man can imagine that dangers that await them in Chile.
