A great historical fiction read, the first in Cornwell's series set during the Napoleonic era. Some of the battle scenes are a bit wordy, but still a good read.

My first Sharpe, also first in the series chronologically (although not the first one written).
Sharpe, a British soldier in India, goes undercover to save an officer in Seringapatam and to get info on how/where to best attack the city.
It's a fast-paced and somewhat violent piece of historical fiction, with believable characters, lots of interesting historical details, twists and turns. ⬇ï¸

The Sharpe series is set in the Napoleonic Wars era
This was a reread for me but it still holds up. This is the first book in the series chronologically. It's an exciting easy read.
