Sharpe's Trafalgar Summary
|
PerfectBound e-book exclusive extra: "Sharpe's Skirmish: Richard Sharpe and The Defence of Tormes, August 1812," a short story. Sharpe's Trafalgar is a dazzling nautical adventure that finds ensign Richard Sharpe in the middle of one of history's most spectacular naval engagements: the battle at Cape Trafalgar off the coast of Spain, in 1805. Also a PerfectBound e-book: Sharpe's Prey, the chronological sequel to Sharpe's Trafalgar. Sharpe's Trafalgar: The year is 1805, and Richard Sharpe is headed from India to England aboard the cargo ship Calliope. Also on board is the lovely Lady Grace Hale, whose regal presence promises to provide intrigue and distraction to an otherwise uneventful voyage home. But nothing is uneventful in the life of Richard Sharpe, for the Calliope is captured by a formidable French warship. The Revenant is headed to its own fleet, carrying a stolen treaty that, if delivered, could provoke India into a new war against the British. The arrival of Admiral Horatio Nelson's magnificent fleet results in a breathtaking retelling of one of the most ferocious and one-sided sea battles in European history, in which Nelson -- and Sharpe -- vanquish the combined naval might of France and Spain at Trafalgar. |
