Synopsis
Sharpe's Rifles was the first prequel novel in the series written by Bernard Cornwell. It tells the story of Richard Sharpe and the French Invasion of Galicia, January 1809. Written sixth, the book naturally fits before Sharpe's Eagle which was the first to be written, although the later novel Sharpe's Havoc is set between the two.
