About the Book

In 1799, the British Army is fighting its way through India in an attempt to push the ruthless Tippoo of Mysore from his throne and drive his French allies out. Posing as a deserter, the young and illiterate private Richard Sharpe must penetrate into the Tippoo's city and make contact with a Scottish spy being held prisoner there. Success will mean winning his sergeant stripes; failure, being turned over to the Tippoo's brutal executioners--or his man-eating tigers. Along the way, Sharpe keeps an eye out for beautiful prostitutes, any stray loot he can get his hands on, and the chance to learn his ABCs. But when the furious British assault on the city begins, Sharpe must fight with the fierceness and agility of a tiger himself to foil the Tippoo's well-set trap--and to keep from being killed by his own side.

About the Author :
Bernard Cornwell, born in London, worked for the BBC and Thames Television before coming to the United States to write full time. His sweeping historical novels, including the acclaimed Richard Sharpe series, make him a number one bestselling author in the United Kingdom and around the world. He lives with his wife on Cape Cod. Frederick Davidson (1932-2005), also known as David Case, was one of the most prolific readers in the audiobook industry, recording more than eight hundred audiobooks in his lifetime, including over two hundred for Blackstone Audio. Born in London, he trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and performed for many years in radio plays for the British Broadcasting Company before coming to America in 1976. He received AudioFile's Golden Voice Award and numerous Earphones Awards and was nominated for a Grammy for his readings.

Review :
A hero in the mold of James Bond, although his weapons are a Baker carbine and a giant cavalry sword. -- "Philadelphia Inquirer" Consistently exciting...Brilliantly realized. -- "Stephen King" Davidson's voice is deep and precise. His British accent is appropriate and he is simply wonderful at providing a distinct voice for each character. -- "Kliatt" Eminently successful historical fiction. -- "Booklist" For fans of the series, Davidson's reading may be definitive. -- "AudioFile" This superbly produced, unabridged audiobook edition features the magnificent narrative skill of Frederick Davidson, who truly brings alive the thrills, dangers, and plot twists that are the hallmark of Bernard Cornwell's historical adventures. -- "Reviewer's Bookwatch"
