Not his best
 Customer Rating:  Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3
A good read, but agree with some of the other reviews, certainly not a Sharpe classic. Without giving away the ending, found it a little out of character and in general the book wasn't as fast paced as the others. However still worth a read

Take Care
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
This is an excellent book, but take care it was first published in 1981 so you may already have it on your book case!

One of the best in the series

Summer 1810, and Captain Sharpe is in trouble again, this time for threatening a provost intent on hanging one of his riflemen for pillaging. On any other day this would mean a court-martial, but Wellington needs Sharpe for a critical mission. Wellington is desperately short of money and orders Sharpe to go and get a hoard of gold stashed in the Spanish village of Casatejada (how it got to be there we never learn but who cares?). However, there's 2 problems: the gold doesn't actually belong to the British but to their Spanish allies and they aren't going to just hand it over, and - secondly - Casatejada is in French-controlled territory... What follows is a rollercoaster of a novel at breakneck speed in which Sharpe finds himself beleaguered on all sides.

And before I forget: there's a Spanish beauty involved too off course who fights with the best (pity Flashman never ran across her!). All in all, one of the best Sharpe-novels I've read so far, and that's saying something!

Sharpe has struck Gold
 Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4
Incrediable read. Non-stop action and story never lets you go. Sharpe is as daring as ever, Harper is as comical and the battles are as visual.

I love the new book cover artwork.

Sharpe's Gold
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
Having read all of the sharpe series and watched the TV programmes. I'm a bit biased to these books, if you love military history, the napoleonic wars or have read Hornblower. Then this book and the other books based on the charectors Richard Sharpe and Sgt Harper will be a must read.

In this one Sharpe and his band of sharpshooters are sent on a mission to retrieve some gold from a spanish partisan. This book and all the others in the series will grip you from page one.

I would also recommend the TV series staring sean Bean.
