Judge Based On Books Sharpe's Company (Sharpe #13)

One of the more gripping Sharpe tales, the thrill quotient is enough to look over some of the flaws in this book. I am reading the Sharpe series in chronological order and not in order of publication. This is the 13th Sharpe tale, though one of the earlier published books. Cornwell usually have a small story inside a big actual historical story approach. This works most of the times but in some Sharpe stories the small stories are just not interesting enough and often saved by Cornwell's

For sure one of my favorites. It was wonderful for Sharpe to gain a fsmily, fight for his men, and have them fight for him. Wellington was amazing.It is slightly disconcerting that the chronology doesn't quiet match up in the Hackswell parts of the story, but you can overlook it for a great villain.

Sharpes Company follows the adventures of Captain Richard Sharpe, a captain in the British army in the early nineteenth century. Richard Sharpe, his best friend Patrick Harper, and the British Army lay siege to Badajoz during the Peninsular War. While preparing for the siege of Badajoz, Sharpe learns his promotion to Captain has been denied, leaving him a lieutenant, and without his own company. He also learns that his ex-lover, Teresa Moran, and their daughter, Antonia, have moved to Badajoz.

As much as I enjoy this book series as something of a guilty pleasure, I can't say I was overly enthralled by this installment. A lot less character progression in this one, and a whole lot of dumb luck rather than the clever soldiering Sharpe's known for and that seemed a little too convenient for my liking. Sharpe's Dumb Luck. Also, the whole thing with Hakeswill being far too evil of an antagonist to be taken seriously culminating in the "mummy-shako" of all things? Sharpe's Mummy Shako.

Sharpe's Company is the third of Bernard Cornwell's initial series of historical novels about daring British rifleman Richard Sharpe.For new readers to the series, Sharpe was born in the gutters of London -- an orphan who had to fight and scrape his way out of his bleak world and into the ranks of the British army during the Napoleonic campaigns in Portugal and Spain (the Peninsular War). Napoleon would later refer to this on-going conflict with Wellingtons army as his Spanish ulcer.An early

This is probably the Sharpe book where the most things go wrong for Sharpe. But its still a very very good read and I look forward to the next one in the series.

This book is one of the better entries in the series. I would give it a high 4. Sharpe suffers several setbacks and some notable successes in this novel. He loses his captaincy because his gazette is not approved, he loses command of the Light Company, his mentor and battalion commander is badly wounded and replaced by someone who doesn't believe officers risen from the ranks can do anything but administrative work, and an old nemesis returns (Sgt. Hakeswill). He does reunite with Teresa Moreno
