Description To Books Sharpe's Triumph (Sharpe #2)

Richard Sharpe and the Battle of Assaye, September 1803

India, 1803. Sergeant Richard Sharpe witnesses a murderous act of treachery by an English officer who has defected from the East India Company to join the mercenary army of the Mahratta Confederation. In the hunt for the renegade Englishman, penetrates deep into the enemy's territory where he faces temptations more subtle than he has ever dreamed of. And behind him, relentlessly stalking him, comes his worst enemy, the baleful, twitching Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill who is determined to break Sharpe once and for all. The paths of treachery all lead to the small village of Assaye where Sir Arthur Wellesley, with a tiny British army, faces the Mahratta horde. Outnumbered and outgunned, Wellesley decides to fight, and Sharpe is plunged into the white heat of a battle that will make Wellesley's reputation. It will make Sharpe's name to, but only if he can survive the carnage and killing frenzy, for it is at Assaye that he at last realizes his ambition and has a chance to seize it. This major new novel will follow the adventures of Richard Sharpe in India, begun so excitingly in Sharpe's Tiger and culminating in the Battle of Assaye, which Wellington considered his greatest victory.

Judgment Regarding Books Sharpe's Triumph (Sharpe #2)

Again, a one-time light-read of war-history. I liked the historical and Indian aspects to the battle of Assaye, but the book felt long, and the battle formations and regrouping had me confused at times. Decent fleshing out of characters, but I'm dreading having to endure Hakeswill's revenge plots through the other 22-odd Sharpe books. Unfortunately or otherwise, I have already purchased about 30 other books by the same author, and I hope the others aren't too war-heavy.

Unabridged audio.This one made very little mark on my brain. Sharpe gets promoted in it and the bully get's his comeuppance but other than that I just don't pull much out. The Sharpe's books can be good and absorbing, but they can also (for some reason) hit some very dry patches.

Oh, thank heaven I'm done with this book! This thing just dragged on, and I was terribly diappointed in it because I enjoyed Sharpe's Tiger so much! I really felt like everything in this book was so uneven. First of all, the plot was meandering, as though the author was unsure of where he wanted to go with this story. Sharpe had a mission in this book, but I often found it difficult to recall what that mission was because the construction of the story wasn't in service to that mission. There was

Book two in the Sharpe series.This another ripping yarn from the pen of Bernard Cornwell.Once again Richard Sharpe, no longer private but newly promoted to Sergeant, finds himself up to his neck in it with his mineses Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill. In Sharpe's Tiger Sharpe finds himself in the possession of some of the Tippoo of Mysore fabulous wealth. Although Sharpe keeps this a secret Hackeswell knows that Sharpe has the treasure and sets a plan to take the treasure for himself. Sharpe needs all

this is a Sharpe book so it gets a minimum of 3 stars. if no other reason than the brilliance of the series' formulaic style. the second in the chronological order is lackluster in comparison to even the previous book Sharpe's Tiger let alone the stalwarts of the Napoleonic novels. Triumph does have one of the signature moments of the whole series which not only the best part, but was probably the purpose of the novel itself. the battle of Assaye albeit the one Wellesley was most proud of was a

Book 2 in this historical fiction series. The year is 1803. Sharpe helps lead a manhunt for a traitor and ends up facing an army with greater forces and guns (Battle of Assaye).

A few years back I read most of Bernard Cornwell's action-packed serial adventure series on the Napoleonic Wars. I read through to what felt like a fairly satisfactory end and then I quit for a few years. Recently I noticed I still had about a half dozen books to go, and so when I came across Sharpe's Triumph, the second book in the series and the first I hadn't read yet, I figured it was time to get reacquainted with an old friend. It's so good to be back with Ol' Sharpie! Richard Sharpe was an
