SHARPE IS BACK.

The brand new novel from Bernard Cornwell in the global bestselling Sharpe series.

If any man can do the impossible it's Richard Sharpe . . .

And the impossible is exactly what the formidable Major Sharpe is asked to do when he's dispatched on an undercover mission behind enemy lines, deep in the Spanish countryside.

For a remote village is about to become the centre of a battle for the future of Europe. Sitting high above the Almaraz bridge, it is the last link between two French armies, one in the north and one in the south; if they meet, the British are doomed.

Only Sharpe's small group of men – with their cunning and courage to rely on – stand in their way. But they're rapidly outnumbered, enemies are hiding in plain sight, and time is running out . . .

SHARPE’S COMMAND is the brand new novel in the bestselling historical series that has sold over 20 million copies worldwide.

Richard Sharpe is a wonderful hero. I love the vivid narration. You can smell the gun smoke.

Brilliant narration.

Beautifully written, beautifully read. Of course there are anomalies. Mr Cornwell freely admits he hasn’t re-read some of his stories since he wrote them. I’ve read, and listened to, and loved all the Sharpe stories, and here’s another. It’s good to be marching with Sharpe and Harper again. Start work on the next!!

That’s good soldiering

Very much enjoyed another outing with Sharpe. Brilliant that another book was released. Ill never tire of the series. Hopefully more will continue to be wrote and released.

Brilliant

The narration
It’s awful

Posh southern Jessie, with no idea, couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag

Terrible Yorkshire accent, sounds like Dick Ban Dike trying to be a cockney I’m from the area, it’s cringeworthy

Consistency is the key word here - every Sharpe novel is excellent, this one is no different- the narration is also 1st class

Another excellent Sharpe story
