These stories have helped and delighted me though all the Covid lockdowns and sh1tfulness - put the headphones in and escape. Thanks to the author, the narrator and the uploader
I love how as Sharpe' s new ramped up existential fears post marriage in the last two books has him resorting to superstitious bets and mind tricks---like fears of a sailors' vengeful ghosts and not shaving---to allay his anxiety in an attempt to influence fate. What boy ever went through life without playing games like "if I can reach that telephone pole in less than a minute everything will go great tonight" as if that self-challenge would have any bearing on a test score, a football game, or getting the girl of your dreams that week. Such fantasies definitely humanize him.
Ducos is fine, but I miss Hakeswill. I know Cornwell regretted his demise. Definitely the most memorable and fun character in the series, besides Sharpe himself. Says so in the Scriptures!
I like Ducos as a foil for Sharpe more I think, just because he's basically the opposite of Sharpe in every way. Hakeswill was a great villain though. You just loved to hate him.
@@patrickpeppers the Lex Luthor/Superman thing. I get it. But of all the various villains that popped up in Sharpe’s life, Hakeswill, with his scar, facial tics, bizarre non-sequiters, and devotion to army discipline is still my very favorite. You’re right, you love to hate him.
William Gaminara is the only reason I made it through this book. I loved the series so far, but this book was probably the least appealing of the bunch

Nah, he was a great villain but he died when he needed to.

I couldn’t stand him. I skipped most of the bits that he was in. He was too stupid for sharpe not to have killed him sooner.
Poor Enry. Fate has seen fit to bring this terrible scared green jacketed devil back into your life. Hurry up and join the order man
God Save Ireland!
This book hurts my heart! Sharpe is such a bad friend to Fredrickson.
