Sharpe's Honor

Book XVI of the Sharpe Series

De: Bernard Cornwell

Narrado por: Frederick Davidson

Alas, a perfect plot for Napoleon: Stop Wellington's forces in Spain and destroy Major Richard Sharpe. An unfinished duel, a midnight murder, and the treachery of a beautiful prostitute lead to Sharpe's imprisonment. Condemned to die as an assassin, he is the pawn in a plot conceived by his archenemy, Pierre Ducos. Caught in a web of political intrigue for which his military experience has left him fatally unprepared, Sharpe becomes a fugitive - a man hunted by both ally and enemy alike.Don't forget to check out the rest of Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series.©1985 Rifleman Productions (P)1995 Blackstone Audiobooks

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Consistently exciting....These are wonderful novels!" (Stephen King)

The highs and lows of Richard Sharpe's struggle!

Another great book in the Sharpe's series! He does it again and uses wit and fighting knowledge to win the day! Also it perfectly ties in one of the greatest plunder blunders of our worlds history.

Great writing and great reading

Another Sharpe book with amazing descriptions, great imagery, a great story reader. I only have a few Sharpe books to yet read. I’ll miss the characters.

Another Winner

Ths sixth book in the series (not counting the prequil) has all the blood and guts, but adds a little more intrigue to the Sharpe equation. While Sharpe has mastered war on the battlefield, he still has a long way to go to be a player in Hogan's intelligence war.

Recommend all of Bernard Cornwell

Where does Sharpe's Honor rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I love the Sharpe's series. Ranking is too difficult. Audible gives so many fabulous options.

What other book might you compare Sharpe's Honor to and why?

Bernard Cornwell's books are all good. I really liked the Sharpe's series (most I listened to from the local library saving my credits for other fabulous books not available there). I've read less favorable reviews in comparison to Patrick O'Brian but why compare them? Both series are very good. Sharpe is probably not as well-written as a literary work but for entertainment value, both Sharpe and Captain Aubrey are equals.

Have you listened to any of Frederick Davidson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. He's fabulous in everything that I can remember.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No.

Any additional comments?

Great series. I've liked everything that I've listened to that Bernard Cornwell has written. I haven't listened to "The Fort" although I own it. It received some less than favorable reviews so I haven't listened yet. But, I will.

Kicking Napoleon out of Spain

Pierre Ducos, French spy, sets a trap for Sharpe and has him charged with the murder of the Marquis. Lord Wellington is forced to respond by having Sharpe court martialed and hanged. But does Hogan and Wellington have a secret plan? So begins the story of intrigue
and suspense. There are several battles in the story and as I have said before Cornwell is the master of the battle scene. The last battle scene of the story is magnificent. I was most interested in the author's comments at the end of the story, telling what was true and where to go to see the battle scene, also which museums to go to see the Rubin's paintings and other item's left or recovered from the looting of the wagons. Cornwell is great at weaving history and fiction together into a great story. Frederick Davidson does a great job narrating the story.
