Description

Richard Sharpe and the Battle of Trafalgar, 21 October 1805 As Ensign Richard Sharpe heads home from India, he finds himself on a perilous journey at sea. The French navy has destroyed the British blockade, and Sharpe must face an outnumbered but formidable foe: Admiral Nelson. On board the merchant ship Calliope, Sharpe's encounter with Lady Grace Hale quickly turns to obsession, but he soon discovers unexpected enemies and treachery among his fellow passengers. As the Calliope approaches Cape Trafalgar, Sharpe prepares to face the enemy fleet in one of the most epic battles of the war. With the fate of Britain hanging in the balance, Sharpe must use all his skills and cunning to survive. Bernard Cornwell's gripping novel brings to life the drama and danger of this pivotal moment in history.
