Good enough for existing Sharpe readers, but i wouldnt start here. Like most Sharpe books, Sharpe's prey is full of action, easy to read and quite a bit of excitement. I wouldnt say that this is quite up to the standard of other books in the series, something seems to be missing and the love interest does seem to be rather soon giving what happened just before however a decent read :-) Interesting setting, I for one never knew that Britain had invaded Denmark!
