Sharpe's Triumph

India, 1803. Sergeant Richard Sharpe witnesses a murderous act of treachery carried out by an English officer. One who defected from the East India Company to join the mercenary army of the Mahratta Confederation. The hunt for the dissident Englishman leads deep into the enemy's territory where Sharpe faces subtle temptations. And his formidable enemy, Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill has a plan to break Sharpe for the last time.

An enjoyable tale: the action doesn't let up. Cornwell also writes excellent battle scenes. An entertaining and exciting read. Thoroughly recommended.
