My first Sharpe, though not my first Cornwell (BC). (BC was very prolific.)
I’ve known about the Sharpe series for a long time, so it’s weird it took me 68 years to get to one. I’ve always been interested in the Napoleonic period. What finally got me to try one is: a) my interest in Patrick O’Brian and b) being retired and having time to read anything I want.
The book (some sources list it as Sharpe #1, others as #6, others still as #8) is a relatively early novel for BC, who started writing in the early 1980s.
