Sharpe's Fortress: Richard Sharpe and the Siege of Gawilghur, December 1803

by Bernard Cornwell

Sharpe's Fortress: Richard Sharpe and the Siege of Gawilghur, December 1803 Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe's Fortress — the stunning successor to Sharpe's Tiger and Sharpe's Triumph — marks the explosive finale in Richard Sharpe's trio of unforgettable adventures in India.

Richard Sharpe, now an officer in Wellesley's army, faces a battle of a different kind-this time among his own ranks. Uncomfortable with his newfound authority and unwilling colleagues, Sharpe is relegated to the tedium of baggage duty. But when he catches wind of a treasonous scheme devised by none other than his oldest and worst enemy, Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill, Sharpe has little choice but to take up arms, seek revenge, and regain his stolen treasure-the jewels of the Tippoo Sultan. Joining Wellesley's army as it prepares to lay siege to this fortress high above the Deccan Plain, Sharpe will risk his honor, reputation, and fortune on a battle that will test him as never before.

Review:

"Fast-paced [and] electrifying....Another rousing installment in the Richard Sharpe saga."(-- Booklist)

Synopsis:

The explosive grand finale of Richard Sharpe's adventure in India finds the defenders of the fortress of Gawilghur standing between Sharpe and his reputation, his honor, and a sultan's stolen jewels.
