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.""

A piece of well-researched history

Although the characters in this story are for the most part imaginary, yet the documentary aspects of Britain’s expedition to Denmark are accurately portrayed. Bernard Cornwell is a masterful storyteller and Rupert Farley an excellent narrator

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!
