      By now I'm used to the elements of a Sharpe book, and this is pretty much by the numbers. A nice twist is the problem of recruiting for the South Essex. We get a lot of Sharpe backstory in this one, and a view of the England Wellington fought for. There's an American in this one, but he's a friend of Sharpe's so he's all right.
    • 4/5
      Another solid entry, this time with a very different story that takes place in England rather than Spain. Sharpe's battle is not against the French but against the powers in his own Army that want to disband the South Essex for their own purposes. Wouldn't have been nearly so good if not for the long epilogue that Cornwell wisely added.
    • 5/5
      While I wish I owned all of the Sharpe series, this is the only one I have read for one simple reason, of all 21movies(or is it 22 i can never remember) Sharpe's Regiment is my absolute favorite. So much so that I bought the book. I know you should never base your thoughts on a book from the movie, but the whole time I was reading I could hear all the characters talking in the actors voices. I love Sharpe, but more importantly, Sean Bean. (props to anyone who actually gets that reference to the Vicar of Dibly)
    • 5/5
      No. 17 in the Richard Sharpe series.Sharpe and Sgt. Harper are sent back to England to discover the whereabouts of promised recruits for their battered South Essex regiment. What they discover is an illegal recruiting ring that auctions off newly-trained soldiers to regiments that have a hard time obtaining volunteers, such as those regiments that serve in the fever-ridden West Indies. Sharpe and Harper go undercover and “steal” back a newly-formed group of soldiers and through a brazen scheme, send them off to join Wellington’s army. Sharpe being Sharpe, with his overactive libido, naturally there’s a woman involved.But it wouldn’t be a Cornwell book without a rousing, bloody battle; in this installment, it’s the description of Wellington’s invasion of France. While not as exciting as some of the great battles that have already taken place, it still is a highly satisfactory ending to a book that is surprisingly good with a out-of-the-norm story line. Another whacking good story.Sharpe, Harper and their colleagues continue to entertain, and as usual there is a fascinating cast of one-time characters. Cornwell excels in this kind of characterization, and his books continue to bring the era and the people in it vibrantly alive. Highly recommended.
