From New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell, the first exciting adventure in the world-renowned Sharpe series, chronicling the rise of Richard Sharpe, a Private in His Majesty’s Army at the siege of Seringapatam.

“The greatest writer of historical adventures today.” —Washington Post

Richard Sharpe. Soldier, hero, rogue—the man you always want on your side. Born in poverty, he joined the army to escape jail and climbed the ranks by sheer brutal courage. He knows no other family than the regiment of the 95th Rifles, whose green jacket he proudly wears.

This is one of my favorite series and this will be my third time listening to it! You won’t be disappointed listening to the literal hundreds of hours this series gives you.

Excellent performance and amazing story!

I read this whole series years ago and now I’m experiencing it again through audiobooks. This was very enjoyable and since I spend a lot of time driving for work I was able to listen whereas I don’t have a lot of time to read paper books. Just as good a story as I remember and the narrator did a great job with the accents and with capturing the energy of certain scenes.

Love the Audiobook version

Amazing tale, well crafted and delivered with a stellar narration. Intriguing and with graphic war violence, but war is hell, so expected. A page turner for sure, if it was a book. But Audible/ listening offered the same excitement! Well done…

All Aspects of this book, narrated perfectly

I read Sharpe's Rifles first and I was hooked! But I decided to start from the beginning and solidify my friendship with the young enlisted Richard Sharpe before he flourished into so much more!

it's a great read and well worth going back in time to cement the foundation of Sharpe, as well as experience history in chronological order.

A fresh start

If your familiar with Bernard Cornwells work, this book will not disappoint. I’ve listened to the Saxon Chronicles 1-13 (the last kingdom), the Warlord Chronicles and the few other of his books. Safe to say I’m a huge fan. I was a little disappointed when I finished the last kingdom, it took me a year and 3 months to get through all of them. I thought I had nothing else that would intrigue me as much as the last set of novels. Well, I was wrong. There’s around 23 volumes of the life of Sgt Richard Sharpe of the 33rd Battalion and I’m looks forward to the journey. Enjoy!!

Great book

Cornwell grips you from the start, and won’t let you go until the very end. He excels at creating likeable, flawed heroes.

Excellent book.

Really great, I admit I had to listen a number of times to get all the details I wanted, could not stop listening. I quickly sought out book #2.

Descriptive and well performed
