It is 1805 and Ensign Richard Sharpe is on his way home from India to join the newly formed Green Jackets. The voyage should be a period of rest but his ship is riven with treachery and threatened by a French warship, the Revenant, which is terrorizing British shipping. An old opponent of Sharpe’s is aboard his ship, and the voyage is further disturbed by the Lady Grace Hale, apparently as unreachable as she is beautiful... As the French warship races home, carrying a treaty that could ignite India into a new war against the British, the hunt turns into a stern chase. When the Revenant encounters the combined French and Spanish fleets off Cadiz it seems that Sharpe’s enemies have found safety, even as his enemies on board appear to have him trapped. 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.

Customer Reviews

Sharpe’s Trafalgar is a notable book in the popular Sharpe series written by English author Bernard Cornwell. These books were turned into a television series for ITV that ran from 1993-1997 starring actor Sean Bean as the leading character Richard Sharpe. Cornwell revels in stories filled to the brim with romance and adventure, often set with a dark wartime backdrop. His flair for telling historical tales is unmatched and in no other stories is this more evident that in the Sharpe novels.

Sharpe’s Trafalgar is a maritime adventure set back in 1805 that sees heroic character Richard Sharpe at the centre of one of the most historical significant battles ever fought at sea. It is a dangerous nautical escapade and Cornwell successfully ensures Sharpe’s presence at Cape Trafalgar is highly plausible. A love affair, a battle and some head-to-heads with old and new enemies see Sharpe embroiled in a seafaring tale during which he meets many characters including heroes, scoundrels and rogues.

Silent Witness actor William Gaminara takes us through this unusual story told on CD audiobook that is filled to the brim with excitement, romance and an expedition that Sharpe and eager listeners won’t forget in a hurry!
