SHARPE'S TRIUMPH

Cornwell's multi-volume historical fiction series features the advertures of one Richard Sharpe, who rises in rank in the colonial British service from private to colonel. SHARPE'S TRIUMPH takes place in India, where Sergeant Sharpe hunts for a renegade British officer. Chivers Audio has a knack of selecting ideally suited readers, and William Gaminara is no exception. He brings marvelous characterization to the narrative with a fully realized performance. His portrayal of the evil Sergeant Hakeswill is particularly effective. There are few ponderous messages in these books, just action-packed, bloodied history. D.R.W. © AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/JAN 00]
