Sharpe's Tiger

Young Richard Sharpe, a raw private in the British Army, must go undercover as a deserter in 1799 India. His mission: infiltrate the city of a ruthless Indian dictator and make contact with a captured spy. Success means a promotion, but failure means facing execution or the dictator's man-eating tigers. Sharpe navigates a dangerous, alien world where one wrong move could be fatal, even risking friendly fire during the climactic assault.
