When his honor and reputation are at stake, Sharpe seeks revenge--at any cost.

It is 1814, and the defeat of Napoleon seems imminent--if the well protected city of Toulouse can be conquered. For Richard Sharpe, the battle turns out to be one of the bloodiest of the Peninsula Wars, and he must draw on his last reserves of strength to lead his troops to victory.

But before Sharpe can lay down his sword, he must fight a different sort of battle. Accused of stealing Napoleon's personal treasure, Sharpe escapes from a British military court and embarks on the battle of his life--armed only with the unflinching resolve to protect his honor.

Most complex story in series - quick read full of action and some surprises

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

This story has twists and turns and it takes you through quite a range of people, places and action. I think this is truly the best of the series up to this point. I found myself hoping things would finally go well for Sharpe but Cornwell is the author and Sharpe is the main character so, not likely. There is much more travel in this book than most of the others, France (multiple cities), England, Piedmont, The Italian States, Naples, Belgium and it all makes sense. You'll find pain, suffering, love won, love lost, enemies, friends (which is which), treachery, politics and even the occasional party. I think Cornwell is a master storyteller and I'm a fan of his writing. He does his homework and then manages to weave a work of fiction into actual event so seamlessly that you have to ask which is history and which is fiction. I highly recommend Sharpe's Revenge. I also recommend you start at the beginning with Sharpe's Tiger and read the entire series all the way through. It is a few hours of inexpensive entertainment.

The Usual Sharpe Thrills

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2021

Verified Purchase

The usual great battle scenes and excitement we expert from the Richard Sharpe series. The only (mild) critique is that the conversion of Sharpe's wife to a bad person isn't as well developed as it should. Otherwise, in a b novel that ranges from Toulouse, to Normandy, to Paris, to London and Naples, it's a lot of fun.

A Great Installment inn the Sharpe Series !

Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2022

Verified Purchase

Much of the Sharpe novels are about the battles but this one is just as much about friendship and love. I love the friendship between Sharpe and Patrick Harper, as well as Sharpe's complicated friendship with Fredrickson.

Bernard Cornwall describes this tale of sharps adventures is one he enjoyed most. It results with class conflict

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

Sharpe is an engaging character, a professional soldier, raised in the slums of London, rising from the nameless ranks to become an officer, after saving the life of Gen Wellesley, later the Duke of Wellington, and then by interferes professionalism is ladder promotions continue. Always is considered an outsider by the aristocratic, the wealthy, and the powerfully narcissistic senior officers. Bernard Cornwall describes this tale of sharps adventures is one he enjoyed most. It results with class conflict, engagement with American privateers, bloodied battles to defend useless French forts, and finally after being accused of a crime he of course did not commit.
Bloody escapism, with a dash of British snobbery, heroism and the reverse, fluctuating ethical standards, and even the most curious of love relationships, which help to restore some sanity to a troubled hero. Likely author, I agree this is one of the best of the series.

A lead-in to Waterloo

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2009

Verified Purchase

In this penultimate installment - considering "Waterloo" to be the ultimate, which it is, although not the last - Sharpe and Harper fight one last battle in France, at Toulouse, only to find that peace has broken out with Napoleon's abdication and exile to Elba. But as the troops and their wives head for home, they are accused, in an intricate plot engineered by French archspy Pierre Ducos, of the theft of the French royalty's private emergency fortune, which Ducos himself has actually taken.

Sharpe, Harper and Frederickson, under arrest, escape and go searching for evidence to clear their names, a trail which takes them in search of the French commandant of the fort they took in "Sharpe's Siege". They must make their way as wanted men across a France full of robbers and thieves, peace notwithstanding. Sharpe's wife Jane meanwhile heads back to England with his fortune to buy them a house - the Dorset farm that Sharpe dreams of, or the smart London townhouse that Jane wants? - but all is not peaceful on that front either.

Even the book is polarizing!

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2022

Verified Purchase

Amazing how different opinions can be! As I reach the near end of the Sharpe saga, for me this was one of the weakest books. Many other reviewers, and perhaps the author himself, liked it the best!
I just found the storytelling different, the plot dragged after the single battle scene, and it finished up in a scrap taken from an NCIS script. It reminded me of the early book about Sharpe in Denmark, which added little to the saga of our hero soldier.
There emphasis seems to be on mellowing the brutal Sharpe to turn him into a sensitive admirer of womanhood. I didn't find that very convincing, as all of his relationships with women have been superficial and essentially short term. He's at his best when wielding rifle and sword, and leading reluctant men into heroic deeds.
So now, to put this puppy love interlude behind and move on to Waterloo!

Grudging Suspension of Disbelief

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

I continue to give this author my money because he makes me care about his characters. The action often strains credulity to embarrassing limits, but Harper, Sweet William, and of course The Rifleman hold their appeal. I will march to Waterloo to see what Old Nosey and Sharpe have in store.

Great book - historical fiction is ‘spot on’

Reviewed in Canada on February 26, 2023

Verified Purchase

After getting my first book in the ‘Sharpe’ series by Bernard Cornwell, (which was “Havoc”), I was hooked. It’s an easy read, great character development, and the references to the Napoleonic era are ‘on point’. You can relate to the characters and empathize with the main character. For the couch, patio, travelling, or on the beach, the ‘Sharpe’ series is a great read.

(wie immer) ein ganz besonderes Vergnügen!

Reviewed in Germany on September 12, 2015

Verified Purchase

Es war erneut ein besonderes Vergnügen an der Seite von Major Richard Sharpe am Peninsular War teilzunehmen. Die (vor)letzte Schlacht der Kampagne, um Toulouse, wird geschlagen (und gewonnen), Ducos plant seine letzte Verschwörung gegen Sharpe (und Napoleon) und es kommt zu ungewöhnlichen Allianzen mit durchaus unerwarteten Plots bis Sharpe's Revenge erfolgreich gelingt...
Sharpe's Revenge baut auf dem vorherigen Buch Sharpe's Siege auf, von daher ist zu empfehlen, dass letzteres zuerst gelesen werden sollte.
Viel Vergnügen!

Very good. Just like all his other Sharpes books it carries on the story. If like a book and do not want it end, just go on to the next one. I did but now I have read them all.
