One of the best in the series - Rated 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 - Rated 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 - Rated 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. enthralling - Rated This book takes you through a mixture of opinions, mysteries, and adventures. It's like theres 5 different stories rolled into one superbly gelling book. The battle scenes whether large or small are hugely engrosing while in true Cornwell style totally realistic. All i can say is if you have seen the Sharpe movies, this book is a must read because in my opinion, the movie does no justice to it at all because it is a totally different story! It's also a turining point in Sharpe's life because in the book series (not the movies) he meets and falls in love with Tereasa for the first time. Read it!!!!!!!! Exciting and fast moving, lives up to previous Sharp books - Rated This book is written to the same quality of all of Bernard Cornwell's previous Sharp books and contains the same glouriosly described battle scenes which really bring the book to life. I would reccomend this book to anybody who has read and enjoyed any Sharp books in the past or for those who just enjoy an exciting read.
