Bernard Cornwell, one of the best-selling historical novelists in the world, the author of more than 50 books with 25 million sales worldwide, recently came out with ‘Sharpe’ killer ‘- Book 21 on’ The Sharpe Series’.
These stories centered on the character of Richard Sharpe and also formed the basis for the television series featuring British actors Sean Bean in the role of the title.
Series Chart Progress in Sharpe in the British Army during the Napoleon War, but the novels were published in a non-chronological order.
He began in ‘Sharpe’s Tiger’ (1997) as a soldier in the 33rd regiments who continued to be promoted, finally rising to Lieutenant Colonel in ‘Sharpe’s Waterloo’ (1990).
His military career ended with Napoleon’s last defeat, but he had more adventure as civilians.
In ‘Sharpe Assassin’, Adipati Wellington turned to Sharpe for help.
Although the Napoleon Army has been defeated, another enemy – a group of fanatical revolutionary secrets – really want revenge.
“Sharpe was sent to the new battlefield field: the labyrinth of the streets of Paris where lines blurred between friends and enemies.
And find spies, he must defeat the deadly killer that is determined to kill the target or die,” read the book a bird description
According to criticism, this book seems to have more humor elements compared to other books in the series.
Even though the center was a bit too long, Cornwell managed to conclude the series well with enough space for further adventure.
It is historically accurate and wherever Cornwell takes the freedom to play with the date and time, he mentions it in a historical record.
