<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The heroic Richard Sharpe finds himself (after victory in "Sharpe's Trafalgar") in Denmark, where he is fighting once again to keep the treacherous French troops at bay.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The greatest writer of historical adventures today. <br />--<em>Washington Post</em></p><p>Critically acclaimed, perennial <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author Bernard Cornwell (<em>Agincourt, The Fort</em>, the Saxon Tales) makes real history come alive in his breathtaking historical fiction. Praised as the direct heir to Patrick O'Brian (<em>Agincourt, The Fort</em>), Cornwell has brilliantly captured the fury, chaos, and excitement of battle as few writers have ever done--perhaps most vividly in his phenomenally popular novels following the illustrious military career of British Army officer Richard Sharpe during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. In Sharpe's Prey, Sharpe must prove his mettle once again after performing courageously on Wellesley's battlefields in India and the Iberian Peninsula, as he undertakes a secret mission to Copenhagen, Denmark in 1807 to prevent a resurgent Napoleon from capturing the Danish fleet. Perhaps the <em>San Francisco Chronicle</em> said it best: If only all history lessons could be as vibrant.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><em><p>The anger was livid now. "Remember whipping me?"he asked. "Whipping me till the blood ran? I remember, Jem. That's why I came back."<br />"Listen, lad."<br />"Don't you bloody lad me," Sharpe said. "I'm grown now, Jem. I'm a soldier, Jem, an officer, and I've learned to kill."</p></em><p>Richard--soldier, hero, rogue--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.</p>
