Sharpe's Prey

The Expedition to Denmark, 1807

De: Bernard Cornwell

Narrado por: Rupert Farley

"The greatest writer of historical adventures today." —Washington Post

Critically acclaimed, perennial New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell (Agincourt, The Fort, the Saxon Tales) makes real history come alive in his breathtaking historical fiction. Praised as "the direct heir to Patrick O'Brian" (Agincourt, The Fort), Cornwell has brilliantly captured the fury, chaos, and excitement of battle as few writers have ever done—perhaps most vividly in his phenomenally popular novels following the illustrious military career of British Army officer Richard Sharpe during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. In Sharpe's Prey, Sharpe must prove his mettle once again after performing courageously on Wellesley's battlefields in India and the Iberian Peninsula, as he undertakes a secret mission to Copenhagen, Denmark in 1807 to prevent a resurgent Napoleon from capturing the Danish fleet. Perhaps the San Francisco Chronicle said it best: "If only all history lessons could be as vibrant."

Forgot how good the book was.

Though the narration was good and enjoyed the story. Love the Sharpe stories they are always a great escape.

His voicing of Richard Sharpe

Listening to his Mr. Sharpe brings me back to my first encounter with him, as played by Sean Bean in the BBC adaptation of Sharpe’s Rifles.

Definitely Worth a Credit ! Best Duck Sharpe so far!!

Best Duck Sharpe so far!! A new country. Interesting characters. Very few of the early Sharpe novels held my interest. This one did.

Awesome

More of the best. Seriously good material. Can’t wait for the next book! So great!

A New Adventure for Sharpe

A great follow on to Sharpe’s Trafalgar. He really has bad luck with the ladies.

The reader’s accents are perfect!

Love the characters and how Bernard Cornwell weaves them into historical events. Have read the books, watched the movies and am thoroughly enjoying listening to them.

Outstanding book and narrating

The details and historical accuracy of this book is amazing. The addition to the story of the series is superb. It places you in the time period and into the struggles of the character. Great reading.

Still good but not as others

Missing the historic notes at the end that really illustrate how amazing the author is at holding true to history.

Another excellent installment

An enjoyable continuation of the saga of Richard Sharpe. This is a must-read series for those interested in historical fiction of the Napoleonic era, doing for the British army of the time what Patrick O'Brien's series did for the British navy.
The narration by Router Farley is superb. He is easy to listen to and does an admirable job with varying accents

Great story. Great narration.

It’s amazing how these stories come alive in audible. The battle and action scenes are thrilling, which is hard to accomplish in prose.

Going to read the next installment now!
