Have read Rifles, Eagle, Company, and Sword, and am trying to remember the name of one that I evidently read ages ago and forgot -- evil Spaniard, likes to beat people to death, Sharpe and Harper wind up trooping through some sewers with a couple of rifle-toting Spanish girls they rescued from French rapists.
I know the one you mean, but my mind is blanking on the title. The South Essex briefly acquires a new officer whom Sharpe harbors an irational hatred for and briefly considers shooting in the back, and the evil villain is the half brother of a wealthy merchant who's selling provisions to the French, right?
Sharpe's Sword was the book that introduce naive 13-year-old me to the concept of slash, way back when. Somewhere around the point where Harper found Sharpe in the "death room," I began to harbor suspicions that maybe they were more than just good friends (possibly sparked by the way Sharpe kept calling Harper's name instead of Teresa's, or maybe by the way Harper reacts when he finds him).
Be warned, the last couple of movie feature The Frenchwoman Who Shall Not Be Named (also known as Lucille, and generally regarded with a loathing otherwise reserved only for that mute girl in the film version of Sword). Sharpe suposedly marries her and settles down with her... at least, until he runs off to South America with Harper.
