Hello and welcome back to Chronicles, and well sir, upon reaching the 50th episode of Chronicles, I decided

it's best to cover Sharp's Eagle. That's my style, sir. And here with me today is Bo and Samson.

And we're basically just going to have just a hugely good time talking all about Sharp. Yeah. I mean, it's not more complicated than that. We're just going to have a hugely good time talking all about Sharp.

Yeah.

I mean, it's not more complicated than that.

We're just going to have a damn good conversation talking about Sharp's Eagle, the first

novel that great writer, historical fiction writer Bernard Cornwell, wrote back in 1981.

And then since then, of course, has gone gone on to led to ITV's incredible series

with of course Sean Bean. He's very proud of his hardback ladies and gentlemen. He feels

novels but the chronologically through sharp's life so started with sharp's tiger

and then i did what is it sharp's fortress sharps trafalgar i think three or four of them. But not this one, because this is actually, in terms of chronologically through Sharp's life, it's about a third of the way through it. But as you say, it's the first one Cornwall Rope. Yes. Which is remarkable, I'm sure you're going to talk all about it, but it's really remarkable how much of the law is already there.

But anyway, I'll let you lead the discussion.

Well, no, not at all. It's interesting to just come to that exact point,

that when you read the preface, I don't know if it's in probably the preface of all of Sharp's Eagle,
