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 . . .

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

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.

Magnificent

One of the best from Bernard Cornwell and superbly read by Rupert Farley.
So very pleased that I downloaded this book.

Tiger

I have read all the books, now started the audio series, fantastic story and excellent narrator.

Doug M from Alberta

Another pleasing Cornwell offering. A very enjoyable listen. Well narrated with appropriate emotion delivered.

A romp

Good fun if a completely preposterous plot! Nicely read. Sharpe survives more close shaves than James Bond.

Great start to the series!

I found this book wonderful. Being immersed in a history and part of the world that I have little knowledge of. Bernard Cornwell has a way of writing that involves all your senses, you feel and hear and smell and even taste the story. I thoroughly enjoyed this action filled historical novel.

Fantastic Narration

I listened to the abridged version with Sean Bean, and yet this narration was somehow better?
