About the book: 2022 / At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the British Empire stretched from the English Channel to the expanses of the Indian Ocean. One of the soldiers, the builders of the empire, a man who participated in all the wars that England fought at that time, was Rifleman Sharpe. In the novel “The Battle of Rifleman Sharpe,” Richard Sharpe receives under his command a detachment of worthless infantrymen and, instead of taking part in intrigues of high authorities, begins a “personal war” with an elite French brigade exterminating Spanish partisans. In the novel “Shooter Sharpe’s Company,” the hero, who has been deprived of his captain’s rank in the most humiliating way, tries to get into “Desperate Hope” - a suicide squad that will have to storm a hole in there is a breach in the fortress wall. But even this is denied to Sharpe, and what’s more, his mortal enemy, the notorious scoundrel Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill, arrives in the company that he no longer commands.
