Sharpe’s Tiger is the brilliant beginning of Sharpe’s adventures

India, 1799

The citadel of Seringapatam is under siege. Navigating this dangerous kingdom of bejewelled palaces and poverty, Private Richard Sharpe embarks on a rescue mission to save a senior officer from the clutches of the Tippoo of Mysore – and oust the Sultan from his throne.

The fortress of Mysore is considered impregnable, but one of the greatest threats comes from betrayal within the British ranks. And the man to outwit enemies from both sides is Sharpe . . .

‘A master storyteller’ DAILY TELEGRAPH

Reseñas de la Crítica

‘Sharpe and his creator are national treasures.' Sunday Telegraph

'Bernard Cornwell is a literary miracle. Year after year, hail, rain, snow, war and political upheavals fail to prevent him from producing the most entertaining and readable historical novels of his generation.' Daily Mail

'Cornwell's narration is quite masterly and supremely well-researched.' Observer

‘The best battle scenes of any writer I’ve ever read, past or present. Cornwell really makes history come alive.’ George R.R. Martin

A great story and a great read.

Bernard Cornwell weaves historical fact and entertaining fiction into a compelling story. One cannot help but admire Richard Sharp’s ruthlessness and kindness.
It is Rupert Farley who brings this great story to life. His ability to give voice to the variety of characters makes this a great listen.

Tipu sultan

His father haider Ali always kept the British at distance and as long as he was alive Mysore was safe
Tipu was a great ruler and was the first ruler who wanted to kick the bristhers out of India.he tried a treaty with Hyderabad but the red coats pulled Hyderabad on their side and attacked tipu.this is the way of dived and rule and that is how Britain ruled India for nearly 200 years
