Ilustration In Favor Of Books Sharpe's Regiment (The Sharpe Series #17)

Book 17 in the Richard Sharpe series.

Another great addition to this highly entertaining series.

The premise for these books is a history of the Peninsular Wars all wrapped up in an exciting narrative concerning the rise and rise of a gutter urchin ‘Richard Sharpe’.

Major Richard Sharpe and his Sergeant Patrick Harper have returned to England in search of his missing, but promised, battalion. What he finds is nothing more than a military slave trade. Men are enlisted with the promise wealth and excitement and then marched off to a secret location to be trained. The government paid these men a pittance but they never see a penny of it as it all goes into the pockets of the, already, rich and powerful. Once trained they are they sold to the highest bidding regiment, all proceeds, again going into the pockets of the powerful. This, it seems, was a normal part of raising and army in Britain.

Sharpe finds his missing men but the problem is that they are about to be sold but not to his regiment.

Sharpe’s need for these men is paramount so he hatches a plan to recover his lost regiment.

What follows is a dangerously thrilling adventure where Shapre and his small band of followers take on the unscrupulous but powerful Minister of Defence.
With all this going on he still finds time to fall in love with most beautiful woman in England. As you do.

A bit light on historical battles but big on tense, thrilling action.

Comes with my 4 star recommendation.

Comment On Based On Books Sharpe's Regiment (The Sharpe Series #17)

The one-and-only Richard Sharpe book (to date) to be primarily set in England, where Sharpe and Harper must go undercover and re-enlist in order to find out what had happened to their missing reinforcements: reinforcements, it transpires, that are being illegally sold to other regiments by a figure from their past.

A fictional account of the real venality, greed and political double-dealing occurring in England among the high placed elite who make profits at the expense of the military. The plump English country, rich with farms, fields & food, that are sorely lacking in Spain and Portugal. The contrast between the high-life of the aristocrats, who pompously assume the trappings of warriors and the troops in their desperate conditions and deep trust and camaraderie. 1813, fall, when it was supposed

Bookended with scenes on the continent, but the bulk of the story is a change of pace for the series with its focus on domestic political intrigue in England. Both informative and entertaining, it establishes new characters who hopefully will continue in the series and seamlessly re-introduces old ones as well.

Another thrilling adventure from Richard Sharpe. This time, Major Sharpe hunts down the missing battalion for his replacement troops. It was a nice change of pace to see more of a political intrigue story than a war story. But yet again, Richard Sharpe is victorious over yet another impossible situation. Even say that, the stories never get old and the characters are always entertaining.

I liked the drama of this. It was fun and full of pompous arses and a little bit foolish. It worked in the end and Sharpe got away with it. After following Sharpe through Spain, it's odd to find him here, in England, amongst 'normal' people. I have enjoyed the friendship between Sharpe and Harper and how much they depend on one another. No matter which women Sharpe throws himself at, Harper is there to pick up the pieces and his slight despair at seeing Sharpe fall for another woman is humorous.

Typical Sharpe. Entertaining, fun new setting, the outcome not in doubt. The prose can be over-the-top; Cornwell's a little too in love with his hero.

This was a very unusual story in the Sharpe series. Fighting in Spain had wound down and the South Essex leaders were wondering why no reinforcements were being sent to replace the casualties. Major Sharpe is sent to Britain to find out the reason for the delay and finds himself and Sergeant Harper faced with a complicated case of military and political swindling. Instead of the usual military might and skill that fans would expect, Sharpe uses his wit to trick the scoundrels into exposing their
