The limited editions are introduced, respectively, by Lindsay Davis and Terry Pratchett. Bernard Cornwell's series of Sharpe Novels and their charismatic central character very quickly took their place beside the lengthy historical sequences of George Macdonald Fraser, Patrick O'Brian, and C. S. Forester as classics of the genre. It was Forester's 'Hornblower' novels and their titular character's Royal Navy career which inspired Cornwall to create a similar series centred around a member of the British Army. The novels, like Fraser's 'Flashman' books were published out of chronological sequence, but can be reordered to relate Sharpe's progress and adventures during the Napoleonic Wars. Beginning as a private in the 33rd Regiment of Foot, Sharpe rises, across the novels, to the rank of lieutenant colonel, his military career ending with the defeat of Napoleon, but followed by a number of his adventures as a civilian. By the end of the series, he has had two wives and three children. After a hiatus of 14 years, Cornwell published two more Sharpe novels (2021, 2023), with a third due in October 2025. This set comprises the core sequence, without the post-2007 additions. Cornwell's books were the basis for the popular ITV television series featuring Sean Bean in the title role.
