Commentary Toward Books Sharpe's Honour (Sharpe #16)
Number 16 in the Shapre series.Concerning the pivotal Vitoria Campaign where the French were evicted from Spain.
A lot of fiction and some historical facts.
Sharpe finds himself on the pointy end of both the allied forces and the enemy forces. Accused of a murder that he didn’t commit Sharpe is condemned to be hanged. How he escapes is a bit ridiculous but escape he does. Sharpe is now on the trail of the people who set him up for the murder. But there is more at stake than just Sharpe’s honour. The intelligence arm of Wellington’s army has reliable information that there is a plan being proposed by the French to bring the Spanish over to their side and then together they will finish off the British army once and for all.
Sharpe’s task is to get evidence of this plan and to clear his name of this murder and restore his honour.
Along the way there are enough thrills and spills to keep you turning pages.
There is enough fiction to keep the narrative exciting and enough facts to keep it fascinating.
An entertaining read, if at time a bit far fetched.
Recommended 4 star read.

I am a fan of the Sharpe series, but this one seemed a bit forced to me. Even given Richard Sharpe's knack for being at the wrong place at the wrong time, the sequence of events that lead to his multiple apparent deaths are a bit far-fetched.I also do not recall Cornwell using so many point of view shifts within single scenes. He does it about as well as can be done, but it is still somewhat distracting.All that said, this is still a fun, quick read, with an extra helping of action. During theaudiobook. This is one of the best of the Sharpe series - at least so far...
Coming off my favorite installment to date in the excellent Sharpes Enemy, any book that followed was bound to feel like a let down. That was certainly the case with Sharpes Honor, the sixteenth chronological book in the Richard Sharpe series, but overall this was still a book I enjoyed. I think the worst aspects of this book came from a new theory I have that Bernard Cornwell comes up with clever words to attach to Sharpes name for book titles, and then writes the book trying to shoehorn as

Rifles, War with Napoleon, crazy inept officers, amazingly adept soldiers, Richard Sharpe who continues to up and down from Officer to plain soldier and back again. THe regency version of Secret forces
Not much to add to what I have already written about Sharpe-series. It's like pop corn - once you start, you can't stop, but it will never really fill your belly. But as long as you take those books for what they are - a guilty pleasure and a quick, fun read - a book about Richard Sharpe is always an enjoyable experience.
Sixteenth in the Richard Sharpe historical military fiction series revolving around Major Richard Sharpe and the Peninsular War against Napoleon.My TakeIt starts brutally, slips into cleverness, and then wallows in the greed of a priest with dreams of becoming a cardinal. Being a priest is no guarantee of being a Christian as Hacha proves. The story starts with a battle and ends with another. One in which the men can become rich beyond their wildest dreams while other men's dreams are destroyed.
Bernard Cornwells Sharpes Honor is the sixteenth in his series following the adventures of Richard Sharpe throughout the Peninsular Wars. The book is full of the usual bravado, but it detours from Cornwells typical formula, as Sharpe is not in the midst of battle throughout the story. The plot centers on a conspiracy to undermine the British war effort, and Sharpe is in the thick of the intrigue and on a quest to prove his innocence, regain his honor, and return to his regiment. As such, the
