About this listen

Sharpe’s Tiger is the brilliant beginning of Sharpe’s adventures

India, 1799

The citadel of Seringapatam is under siege. Navigating this dangerous kingdom of bejewelled palaces and poverty, Private Richard Sharpe embarks on a rescue mission to save a senior officer from the clutches of the Tippoo of Mysore – and oust the Sultan from his throne.

The fortress of Mysore is considered impregnable, but one of the greatest threats comes from betrayal within the British ranks. And the man to outwit enemies from both sides is Sharpe . . .

Good fun if a completely preposterous plot! Nicely read. Sharpe survives more close shaves than James Bond.

A romp

I found this book wonderful. Being immersed in a history and part of the world that I have little knowledge of. Bernard Cornwell has a way of writing that involves all your senses, you feel and hear and smell and even taste the story. I thoroughly enjoyed this action filled historical novel.

Great start to the series!

I listened to the abridged version with Sean Bean, and yet this narration was somehow better?

Fantastic Narration
