  1. 1. Sharpe's Trafalgar

    A gritty historical adventure that follows a young soldier pressed into service aboard a British warship in 1805, where class prejudice and cramped, brutal life at sea test his mettle; as the fleet sails toward the great engagement off the Spanish coast, he must navigate shipboard politics, thwart a dangerous enemy plot, and prove his courage amid the smoke, splintering timbers and chaos of battle, earning hard-won respect and shaping his future as a fighting man.
