Introducing Richard Sharpe - By: , 31 Aug 2002
In Sharpe's Rifles you get to meet our hero for the first time. Although there is a certain amount of scene setting there is no lack of action - his approach to combat makes James Bond look like a pussy cat - not only does he have to contend with the French but with the attitude of the other Officers who have bought the rank they now fill. With the help of the Spanish partisan leader he learns how to get the most out of his men & overcome the initial resentment they have for an officer "raised from the ranks".

In Sharpe's Eagle he is callled upon to restore the honour of the regiment after the colours are lost in battle, just to add to the task he has to do it with a bunch of raw recruits and, of course, some none too able officers. The battle scenes are realistic, providing an insight into what it would have been like to be there & not over the top in the way that some modern films are.
All in alll some good old fashioned action with goodies & badies easy to watchand enjoyable from start to end.
