Members Reviews:

I'll miss Sharpe and Harper now that the series is finished for me - Good book! You should enjoy it too.

As far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be any further expectations for Sharpe novels in the future with the last edition having been published in 2007 and the series spanning over two and a half decades of Cornwell's and Sharpe's lives. This was such a good series that I can honestly say I'm going to miss Sharpe and Harper, well, until I read the series again some day. Cornwell captures the essence of the time, the martial life in the army or otherwise, the burden of command, friendship, love, honor, attitudes and every other aspect of 19th century England, France, Ireland and Chile in this case. The great thing about any book is that it takes you somewhere. If it does it well you feel satisfied and entertained. Cornwell succeeds in taking you somewhere you've never been and making you feel at home in this story. I'd recommend this and every other book in the series even if you're not particularly interested in historical or war fiction because first and foremost it's a great story about people. This last novel wraps up loose ends and leaves us with a picture of a successful and satisfied set of heroes. I liked the story although there was some predictability in it. I think it did a good job of showing what kind of men Sharpe and Harper will be for the remainder of their lives and it also showed that despite their worries that theyâd never know what to do with themselves without war they found fulfillment in life without war. I enjoyed it and I think you will too, especially since you made it this far. I recommend it.

Great adventure; different from Sharpe's routine

It was an adventure worthy of Sharpe and Harper, but here they come out of retirement. That was the first difference. In addition, the main setting is away from Europe: Chile. That's the second. I found Cornwell's writing and storytelling to be stellar, as ever. In addition to reading the text, I also listened to Frederick Davidson read. I don't find his rendition of the characters appealing. He seems to miss a lot, especially in the battle scenes. He's not bad, but I would prefer less nasal and more enthusiasm. Davidson reads most of the Sharpe series, so at least he knows the character.

One other difference is the naval setting. A lot of new naval terms in this installment.
