    About this audiobook

    *SHARPE’S COMMAND, the brand new novel in the global bestselling series, is available to pre-order now*

    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 . . .

    • 5/5
      Wonderfully written gripping plot.
      Thanks Mr Cornwell and team.

      Good tact with the adult content too (only hints not detail).
    • 5/5
      Super entertaining, looked forward to my commute knowing I was listening to Sharpe's Tiger.
    • 5/5
      Private SHARPE,,Full of Adventure & Deception,, a true swashbuckling adventure only in India, where a soldier seeks his fortune for King and Country , & loyalty goes to the highest bidder, SGT Obadeya Heckswell character is worth the story in itself.
