Praised as \"the direct heir to Patrick O'Brian\" (\u003cem\u003eAgincourt, The Fort\u003c\/em\u003e), Cornwell has brilliantly captured the fury, chaos, and excitement of battle as few writers have ever done--perhaps most vividly in his phenomenally popular novels following the illustrious military career of British Army officer Richard Sharpe during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. In Sharpe's Fortress, Ensign Sharpe's adventures in India reach a grand finale at the Siege of Gawilghur during the Maharatta War in December 1803, as Cornwell's hero uncovers a foul treason and seeks a righteous revenge. Perhaps the \u003cem\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/em\u003e said it best: \"If only all history lessons could be as vibrant.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBe prepared for scenes of great action \u0026amp; heroic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe sword hissed an inch behind the boy's neck.\u003cbr\u003eI said to leave him alone!\u003cbr\u003eSharpe said.
