Bernard Cornwell recently published the last of his successful \u0026amp;quote;Sharpe\u0026amp;quote; novels, but readers can continue their Napoleonic adventures with a new hero, artilleryman Jonathan West, in two books from Derek Cheney, \u0026amp;quote;The Leopard Wakes\u0026amp;quote; and the sequel \u0026amp;quote;Vittoria\u0026amp;quote;.Derek Cheney combines imaginative sympathy with the historians cool objectivity and rare knowledge of arms, men and military strategy. His vivid portrayal of nineteenth century England - its farming, fashionable society and colourful London \u0026amp;quote;Season\u0026amp;quote; - is as rich in fascinating period detail as his evocation of campaign life. The Leopard Wakes, a story of romance, rivalry and adventure - but also of self-discovery through suffering - captures the spirit of the age and adds blood and meat to the dry bones of history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52936969781527,"sku":null,"price":1348.42,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9781462828364.jpg?v=1780983350","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/ur\/products\/leopard-wakes-9781462828364","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
