Praised as \"the direct heir to Patrick O'Brian\" (\u003cem\u003eAgincourt, The Fort\u003c\/em\u003e), Cornwell has brilliantly captured the fury, chaos, and excitement of battle as few writers have ever done--perhaps most vividly in his phenomenally popular novels following the illustrious military career of British Army officer Richard Sharpe during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. In Sharpe's Prey, Sharpe must prove his mettle once again after performing courageously on Wellesley's battlefields in India and the Iberian Peninsula, as he undertakes a secret mission to Copenhagen, Denmark in 1807 to prevent a resurgent Napoleon from capturing the Danish fleet. Perhaps the \u003cem\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/em\u003e said it best: \"If only all history lessons could be as vibrant.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe anger was livid now. \"Remember whipping me?\"he asked. \"Whipping me till the blood ran?
