      Andrew Gardner

      with much gratitude

      ‘The insubordinate, sarcastic and oversexed Sharpe returns … Cornwell delivers the usual mix of strategy and strength – classic battle scenes and plenty of fisticuffs’

      For a soldier I listed, to grow great in fame.

      And be shot at for sixpence a day.

      CHARLES DIBDIN 1745 – 1814
