Sharpe's Company

Richard Sharpe and the Siege of Badajoz, January to April 1812

It was a hard winter. For Richard Sharpe it was the worst he could remember. He had lost his command to a wealthy man – a man with money to buy the promotion Sharpe coveted. And from England came his oldest enemy – the ruthless, indestructible Hakeswill – utterly intent on ruining Sharpe.

But Sharpe is determined to change his luck. And the surest way is to lead the bloody attack on the impregnable fortress town of Badajoz, a road to almost certain death – or unimagined glory...

I recently finished reading “Sharpe's Company” and I have to say that I was thoroughly impressed. This book was a great blend of historical fiction and action-adventure, and I found myself fully immersed in the story from start to finish.

The main character, Richard Sharpe, is a complex and well-developed character who I found myself rooting for throughout the book. His journey from a lowly private to a respected officer was both exciting and emotional, and I found myself invested in his story. The supporting characters were also well-written and added depth to the story.

The action scenes in the book were well-written and kept me on the edge of my seat. The historical setting was also well-researched and added authenticity to the story. Overall, “Sharpe's Company” was a great read that I would highly recommend to fans of historical fiction and action-adventure.
