Sharpe's Trafalgar: The Battle of Trafalgar, 21 October 1805 by Bernard Cornwell
4.0
It was dificult to imagine how Cornwell would pull this off without making it feel too contrived, but I should have known better than to have doubted him.
I've been a fan for a long time now, but this was my first Sharpe novel and allthough it wasn't quite what I was expecting I am always impressed by his writing, his fantasticly graphic battle scenes and the way he has this uncanny ability to make you believe he's written it just for you.
Thouroughly enjoyable and any other time I would have awarded it a five,unfortunately, for me, he has set the bar so high I'm afraid I prefered his King Alfred and Hundred years war series
