		Thus was born, in 1981, rifleman Richard Sharpe, the wily and resourceful soldier whose adventures as a gutter-bred ranker in the army of King George III trail the future Duke of Wellington from India to Waterloo and beyond.
		Sharpe's Prey is the 18th of Cornwell's Sharpe novels -- one of several fill-in episodes in the career of a protagonist Cornwell has already projected to Waterloo (in 1990's Sharpe's Waterloo).
		Cornwell's Richard Sharpe is an intriguing protagonist, Dickensian in his semi-criminal wiles, a military realist and lower-class fatalist periodically led painfully astray by hope.

	Waterloo (#11) (Sharpe's Adventures)
		Richard Sharpe is an ingenious literary invention: a fictional device for telling the story of the Duke of Wellington, a man who really did defeat Napoleon that many times.
		Sharpe's primary function is to provide military advice to the youthful prince and try to keep himself from killing the idiotic monarch.
		Also, Sharpe is a fictional character, so I think we can all agree that he couldn't have winged the Prince of Orange or repulsed the Imperial Guard.

	The Tufted Shoot: June, 2002
		Sharpe's wife Teresa flitters onto the scene late in the novel, only so she can meet her accidental and tragic (to Sharpe, who is much broken up about it, consumed by guilt, and so on) demise.
		Sharpe also receives his most serious wound; in fact, he's consigned to the local hospital's hellish cellar Death Room, where the hopeless cases are sent to die (this book brings home the gawdawful state of early 19th century medicine), while none of his company or his friends know where he is at first.
		Sharpe knows the only way to keep his captaincy and his company is to do something spectacular, so for the rest of the book, he's fixated on capturing an "Eagle," the standard used by units in Napoleon's army.

		The year is 1807, and Richard Sharpe is back in England, where his career seems to have come to a dead end, despite his heroics in Britain's recent victory at Trafalgar.
		Sharpe has not yet met Harper (there is a small section about harpers experiences though) and he is not enjoying his life as a commissioned officer in his majesty's army.
		Though Sharpe is a fictional character the scenarios in which he is placed are not, so you get a feel for what soldiers and people alike lived through and experienced.

		They felt that Sharpe was one of the most exceptional fictional heroes to have been created in recent years - eminently comparable not only to contemporaries such as Hornblower and Ramage, but to modern heroes as well.
		Richard Sharpe marches from strength to strength with the publication of each new novel and is hailed by many reviewers as the greatest thing to happen to military heroes since Hornblower.
		-Sharpe's Fortress is a quest on many different levels – Sharpe is not only seeking a victory in a military context, he’s also seeking respect from his fellow officers and on another level entirely he’s constantly trying to keep his hands on the piles of jewels he has acquired.

		There is another interesting book I’m reading (and this is for Mike Hollihan — since we are the PBS aficionados and enjoy the Sharpe series) which is based upon a 20 book series written by Bernard Cornwell on the adventures of Richard Sharpe.
		As just a quickie background, Sharpe is a fictional character who is a British soldier from 1799 — 1822, but the exploits, travels and battles are based on the real British excursions, battles and factual materials.
		"Richard Sharpe is a fascinating hero; his escapades are bewildering in their variety and always bloody in their execution — but they are not impossible.

		Sharpe is not only a private raised from the ranks, but the literal bastard son of a London whore; thus he is ever at odds with the 'gentlemen' who make up the offcer corps of Wellington's Peninsular Army.
		Sharpe was literally a bastard, born to a prostitute in the worst slums of London.
		Sharpe is really just a vehicle for Cornwell to relate the various battles in vivid, real-time narrative, but he does it so superbly that you are almost unaware that you are reading a history lesson.

	Sharpe's Tiger - Bernard Cornwell - Review - Sharpe gets whipped
		The main character, Sharpe, is well drawn, but does come across as somewhat over ruthless at times, there are parts of his character that I like, but believe me, I wouldn't want to cross him.
		The more minor characters, are slightly less well developed (which is hardly surprising), but there does seem to be just about enough background to each of them to make them believable.
		That's enough about the characters, lets move onto what I thought about the plot and writing style Well, I'm sorry to say this but although I thoroughly enjoyed the book, I found the actual writing style a little dryer than those books in the series which were written prior to this.

		Historical fiction may inspire the reader to "do the impossible." After reading how historical characters have overcome great obstacles to win important victories, the reader may decide that she too can overcome obstacles and become an important person.
