Description

Best-selling novelist Bernard Cornwell crafts a thrilling tale from his immensely popular Richard Sharpe series. In 1809 Lieutenant Sharpe and his riflemen are in Portugal, preparing for Napoleon's next strike. The smaller English force will probably pull out before it's too late, but not Sharpe. His orders are to find the missing daughter of an English wine shipper. Just as Sharpe and his men begin their mission, the French launch their punishing assault. Be prepared for scenes of great action & heroics "What are we doing, sir?" "We're charging that barricade, Sergeant." "They'll fillet our guts, if you'll pardon me saying so, sir. The buggers will turn us inside out." "I know that," Sharpe said, "and you know that. But do they know that?" Richard Sharpe Soldier, hero, rogue—the man you always want on your side. Born in poverty, he joined the army to escape jail and climbed the ranks by sheer brutal courage. He knows no other family than the regiment of the 95th Rifles, whose green jacket he proudly wears.

      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: Patrick Tull's brassy bass voice is tailor-made for the swashbuckling escapades of Lieutenant Richard Sharpe as he duels, fights, schemes, plots, and shoots his way through the Peninsular War of 1809. As Sharpe advances with the aid of Captain Harper to halt Napoleon Bonaparte's attempt to bring Portugal under French control, Sharpe focuses on both the war and the rescue of a missing English wine merchant's daughter, Kate Savage (modeled on Shakespeare's rousing Katrina in THE TAMING OF THE SHREW). In HAVOC the narrator must keep track of an unusually large cast of characters. Unfortunately, Tull, who is good at differentiating individual characters, falters on presenting the big picture.

        Sharpe fans who may have worried that Cornwell's popular series was drawing to a close can heave a sigh of relief—the 19th entry (after 2002's Sharpe's Prey) brings the up-from-the-ranks rifleman back to the Peninsular War where the series began, among such familiar comrades-in-arms as Sergeant Harper and the "old poacher" Dan Hagman. In the treacherous villain role without which no Sharpe adventure would be complete, the Shakespeare-quoting Colonel Christopher plays both sides of the fence in an effort to contrive a peace between the warring parties that will leave him a rich man. But Christopher hasn't reckoned with the new British commander, Sir Arthur Wellesley, the future Duke of Wellington, who arrives in time to catch Marshal Soult's invading army by surprise. Meanwhile, Sharpe and his men, cut off in a Portuguese village, hold off superior French forces with the aid of Lieutenant Vicente, a Portuguese lawyer, poet and philosopher turned soldier. Sharpe's antilawyer barbs, as well as some later banter about the troubled relations between the English and Irish and between the Spanish and Portuguese, provide comic relief, while Kate Savage, a naïve 19-year-old Englishwoman seduced by Christopher, lends relatively minor romantic interest. A delicious scene at Wellesley's headquarters, in which Sharpe has to account for his seemingly inactive role, will please aficionados, as will the ringing words with which Cornwell closes his customary afterword on the historical background: "So Sharpe and Harper will march again." (Apr. 1)Forecast:An eight-city author tour, his first in the U.S., plus the human interest story of the author's recent discovery of his biological parents after being give up for adoption at birth, should ensure that Cornwell builds on his ever-increasing U.S. sales. Whether Cornwell will clamber up national bestseller lists, though, as he routinely does in the U.K., remains to be seen.
