Every previous Sharpe book I've read features a battle, covering the period leading up to it and the battle itself. The centrepiece is therefore an actual historical event with Richard Sharpe's part in it being the fictional element.

Stephen King has written some epic novels (IT, The Stand) but also some pretty poor ones where not much happens (From a Buick 8, Gerald's Game). This, however, is one of his better efforts.
