Where to start

Sharpe is the longest run here at 27 books, and the usual way in. The textbook case where publication order is the wrong answer. Cornwell began at the Peninsular War in 1981 and only wrote the India books in the late 1990s, so the list below is CHRONOLOGICAL — the order the story happens in, and what nearly everyone recommends. Skirmish, Christmas, Ransom and Storm are short stories rather than novels; you can skip them on a first pass without losing the thread.
