Sharpe's Tiger: The Siege of Seringapatam, 1799 - Sharpe
Bernard Cornwell
?The greatest writer of historical adventures today.?
?Washington Post
Critically acclaimed, perennial New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell (Agincourt, The Fort, the Saxon Tales) makes real history come alive in his breathtaking historical fiction. Praised as ?the direct heir to Patrick O?Brian? (The Economist), Cornwell has brilliantly captured the fury, chaos, and excitement of battle as few writers have ever done?perhaps most vividly in his phenomenally popular novels following the illustrious military career of British Army officer Richard Sharpe during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Sharpe?s Tiger introduces readers to Sharpe, a private in His Majesty?s Army at the siege of Seringapatam in India in September 1803, as the fearless but inexperienced young soldier undertakes an essential undercover mission that places him on the wrong side of the conflict when the British assault on the city begins. Perhaps the San Francisco Chronicle said it best: ?If only all history lessons could be as vibrant.?
