Buy Sharpe`s Waterloo (Sharpe #20) by Bernard Cornwell for R65.00

India, 1803.  Sergeant Richard Sharpe witnesses a murderous act of treachery by an English officer who has defected from the East India Company to join the Mahratta Confederation.  In the hunt for the renegade Englishman, Sharpe penetrates deep into the enemy's territory where he faces temptations more subtle than he has ever dreamed of.  And behind him, relentlessly stalking him, comes his worst enemy, the baleful, twitching Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill who is determined to break Sharpe once and for all. The paths of treachery all lead to the small village of Assaye, where Sir Arthur Wellesley, with a tiny British army, faces the Mahratta hordes.  Outnumbered and outgunned, Wellesley decides to fight, and Sharpe is plunged into the white heat of a battle that will make Wellesley's reputation.  It will make Sharpe's name too, but only if he can survive the carnage and killing frenzy, for it is at Assaye that he at last realises his ambition and has a chance to seize it. Soft cover, good condition.  381 pages.

In this novel, the third in a series that will take the magnetic Sharpe all the way from Talavera to the glory of Waterloo, Bernard Cornwell tells the gripping story of Sharpe's secret mission, an adventure unlike any form of warfare Sharpe has known in his long and embattled career as a soldier fighting his way up through the ranks.Hardcover; First edition, UK, 1981, Collins

 SOS Men Against the Sea is a superbly dramatised chronicle of 29 ships the loss of which history, by and large, passed by.  Few have ever heard of the Cospatrick, a fully rigged ship destroyed by fire off the Cape of Good Hope in 1874 with the loss of 400 lives.  Or the steamer Utopia which skewered itself on the ram-bow of a warship in Gibraltar Bay and sank in five minutes, taking 500 souls with it.  A similar loss of life occurred when the Russian cruise liner Admiral Nakimov collided with a bulk carrier in the Black Sea in 1986.  There was no loss of life when the cruise liner Oceanis sank off the coast of the Transkei, thanks to the actions of a few non-seamen who displayed the true spirit of the Birkenhead. A total of 5683 lives were lost when these ships went down. This book is their epitaph.   Soft cover, fair condition.  The cover is creased in places.  The paper shows slight foxing but the spine is tight.  206 pages.
