Bernard Cornwell The Sharpe Series 1:
Sharpe's Tiger
The Citadel of Seringapatam is under siege. Navigating this dangerous kingdom of bejewelled palaces and poverty, Private Richard Sharpe embarks on a rescue mission to save a senior officer from the clutches of the Tippoo of Mysore – and oust the Sultan from his throne.

The fortress of Mysore is considered impregnable, but one of the greatest threats comes from betrayal within the British ranks. And the man to outwit enemies from both sides is Sharpe . . .

Sharpe's Triumph
When a defector all but wipes out an unsuspecting British unit, Sergeant Richard Sharpe must hunt down the enemy within. In the sun-beaten terrain of forts and bazaars, the mission draws him into treacherous, unfamiliar territory and face to face with an old adversary. As the Mahratta rulers prepare for the white heat of battle, the small village of Assaye becomes the stage. Outnumbered and outgunned, the British face bloody defeat. But ready to step up, in a battle that could make his reputation, is Sharpe...

Sharpe's Fortress
The British army are closing in on enemy troops in western India and Ensign Richard Sharpe, freshly promoted yet unsure of his position, finds himself vulnerable: he’s unwelcome among the officers, yet finds hidden enemies within the ranks. With no-one he can trust, Sharpe is in serious danger when an old adversary arrives on his trail – and a terrible act of betrayal draws him into the eye of the storm.

All roads lead to Gawilghur, a legendary, impregnable fortress in the sky. In the heart of enemy territory, the British carry out a near-impossible siege. And joining the front line, risking his honour and reputation in a battle that will test him as never before, is Sharpe . . .

Sharpe's Trafalgar
Sharpe’s meeting aboard the Calliope with the beautiful Lady Grace Hale turns quickly to obsession, but he finds unexpected enemies and deep treachery amongst his fellow passengers. And as they approach Cape Trafalgar and the enemy fleet comes into view, ready to fight in one of the most glorious but deadly clashes of the war is Sharpe . . .

Sharpe's Prey
When Lieutenant Richard Sharpe arrives in Copenhagen on a secret mission to help stop a war, he finds a city swarming with spies and deceit. Yet the French forces are gathering, their eyes on the Danish navy’s impressive battle fleet: one that could replace every ship they lost at Trafalgar.

The city burns, attacked by the French and besieged by the British. And discovering that he’ll have to make his own rules, fighting through the shadowy maze of friends and foes, is Sharpe . . .

Sharpe's Rifles
Spain, January 1809: Lieutenant Richard Sharpe is cut off from the main army and distrusted by his men. Yet, as a bitter winter sweeps across Spain, he must lead his battalion on a treacherous trek through enemy-infested mountains. It seems their only hope of escape is to accept the help of an unlikely Spanish ally- but it comes at a price.

In possession of a mysterious chest that he claims will shift the tides of war, the Spaniard is determined to storm the holy city of Santiago de Compostela. But with an overwhelming force and a formidable leader from the Imperial Guard, the French have their own violent agenda. And caught in the crossfire, with no choice but to lead his men towards an unknown battle, is Sharpe...

Sharpe's Havoc
Portugal, Spring 1809: Lieutenant Richard Sharpe is under orders to hunt down the missing daughter of an English wine merchant. But when he finds himself stranded behind enemy lines, he is forced to confront a threat much closer to home, double-crossed by an Englishman's treacherous schemes.

The tide of war begins to change when a new British commander - the future Wellington - lands on Portuguese soil to launch a counterattack. And by the commander's side, determined to avenge his enemies, is Sharpe ...

Sharpe's Eagle
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 . . .

Sharpe's Gold
Spain, August 1810: The English army faces ruin in Spain – and the Duke of Wellington is desperate for money to fund the war. Only a cache of hidden Spanish gold can save them. And only Captain Richard Sharpe has the cunning to capture it.

In the treacherous terrain of the Portuguese hills, with rain sweeping the peninsula, a powerful guerrilla leader holds possession of the gold. And risking everything for the ultimate prize – for his honour, for his army’s fate – is Sharpe . . .

Sharpe's Escape
Portugal, 1811: Captain Richard Sharpe’s renegade ways leave him discarded by his regiment and waging a war against a private Portuguese enemy – one fought through the burning, pillaged streets of Coimbra.

Forced to retreat across treacherous terrain, the British army prepare vast defences at the Lines of Torres Vedras – their greatest secret and their last hope of stopping the French reaching Lisbon. And risking everything to re-join his regiment, and lead the army into battle once more, is Sharpe . . .
