Ep 602 - Sharpe's Eagle (Richard Sharpe #1), by Bernard Cornwell
Bring on the battalion of Dad Books! Cornwell started writing the Richard Sharpe novels because he wanted something like Horatio Hornblower on land. Well, we haven't read any Hornblower yet but we can attest that this book sure is about a British rifleman fighting in the army during the Napoleonic Wars!
Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
