Summary
The seventeenth Sharpe novel sees Sharpe returning from India to London to join the newly formed Green Jackets in Britain.
Soldier, hero, rogue – Sharpe is the man you always want on your side. Born in poverty, he joined the army to escape jail and climbed the ranks by sheer brutal courage. He knows no other family than the regiment of the 95th Rifles whose green jacket he proudly wears.
In this adventure, Sharpe is on his way home from India. He is sailing with the Royal Navy, who are hunting a formidable French warship, the ‘Revenant’, carrying a secret treaty that may prove lethal to the British.
The ‘Revenant’ makes it to the safety of the French and Spanish fleets off Cadiz, and it seems Sharpe’s enemies have found safety. Yet over the horizon is another fleet, led by Nelson, and Sharpe’s revenge will come in a savage climax when the two armadas meet on a calm October day off Cape Trafalgar.

Critic reviews
"Cornwell's combination of breakneck action and pig-headed men behaving badly, but with dazzling brio, is just unbeatable." (The Daily Telegraph)

A great read and everything you expect from a Bernard Cornwell adventure.
Now finished number four in the Sharpe series and number five already loaded ready to go.
Having read or listened to many of Bernard Cornwell's books this is yet another in the same vein.........that's not meant as any criticism but appreciation for his style of writing. Not all fast paced action but still plenty of it, loads of historical details, a great fictional story line blended with factual events.
Richard Sharpe continues his adventures and instead of just jumping from India to England, makes a long sea voyage a thrilling chase ending with the predictable battle.
A very different story in this series of books than those fans of the TV series would know but the original story is so much better. The characters from the TV series were so well cast as they instantly spring to mind as the narrator takes you into Sharpe's world.
A great listen.

Would be better unabridged
Unfortunately Audible now only seem to sell the abridged versions of the book. The unabridged version would have been so much better - as with all of the fantastic set of these popular novels.

I feel cheated
I feel that this abridged version was not advertised as such. I am aggrieved that audible do not make it more obvious and I would expect a refund.
Up until now I have loved this medium and have purchase 30 plus books without a problem.
