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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCornwell, Bernard:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eBERNARD CORNWELL is the author of the acclaimed \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling Saxon Tales series, which includes \u003cem\u003eThe Last Kingdom, The Pale Horseman, Lords of the North, Sword Song, The Burning Land, Death of Kings, The Pagan Lord\u003c\/em\u003e, and, most recently, \u003cem\u003eThe Empty Throne \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eWarriors of the Storm\u003c\/em\u003e, and which serves as the basis for the hit television series \u003cem\u003eThe Last Kingdom\u003c\/em\u003e.
