Sharpe's Tiger
Book

The novel that Sharpe fans have been waiting for, Sharpe's Tiger describes the adventures of the raw young private soldier Richard Sharpe in India, before the Peninsular War.

Sharpe and the rest of his battalion, along with the rising star of the general Arthur Wellesley, are about to embark upon the seige of Seringaptam, island citadel of the Tippoo of Mysore. The British must remove this potentate from his tiger throne, but he has gone to extraordinary lengths to defend his city from attack. And always he is surrounded by tigers, both living and ornamental...any prisoner of the Tippoo can expect a savage end.
