About Sharpe's Prey by Bernard Cornwell
Set in 1807, Sharpe’s Prey follows Lieutenant Richard Sharpe, newly returned to England and hoping to leave the army. Instead, he is offered one last assignment: travel to Copenhagen with the Honourable John Lavisser and help deliver a bribe intended to prevent a war.
The mission appears straightforward, but the account’s starting point is the tension between its seemingly simple purpose and the risks of carrying it out. Readers interested in historical fiction about soldiers and the Copenhagen expedition of 1807 may find this a useful entry in Cornwell’s Richard Sharpe series.
