Sinopse

One of the greatest storytellers of our time, Cornwell presents the hero Sharpe in his battles and adventures during the British occupation of India.

In Sharpe's Tiger , Cornwell turns his attention to the British occupation of India. European imperialism serves as the basis for an adventure spanning more than twenty volumes, with young Richard Sharpe—an illiterate recruit in Her Majesty's service—as the hero. As part of an expedition sent to overthrow Tipu Sultan and expel the French from India, Sharpe fights some of the most incredible battles.

In this first volume of the series, Sharpe , posing as a deserter, must penetrate the Sultan's city and make contact with a captive Scottish spy. If successful, he will earn his sergeant's rank. If he fails, he will be handed over to the Tippoo's cruel executioners or his man-eating tigers. In this exotic and mysterious world, one false step means death.

The situation becomes even more complicated when Sharpe discovers he must fight his old comrades to save his own life. And while carrying out his mission, Sharpe keeps an eye out for Mysore's beautiful prostitutes, loot, and the opportunity to learn to read.

As the British army advances through India toward a diabolical trap, the young recruit battles men and beasts behind enemy lines. But when the British army violently attacks the city, Sharpe must fight with the ferocity and agility of a tiger to disarm Tipu's trap... and avoid being killed by his countrymen.
