*SHARPE’S COMMAND, the brand new novel in the global bestselling series, is available to pre-order now*

Spain, January 1812

Lieutenant Richard Sharpe faces threats from all sides when an old adversary joins the ranks. Yet, despite the risks, he must embark on a deadly mission – to capture the impenetrable fortress of Badajoz.

It’s a long, cold winter for war as the French force onwards – but Sharpe’s battle-rage burns. Only a Forlorn Hope, a near-suicidal move into the breach, will give the army hope of capturing the fortress. And boldly leading the attack is Sharpe . . .

Critic reviews

‘Sharpe and his creator are national treasures.' Sunday Telegraph
'Bernard Cornwell is a literary miracle. Year after year, hail, rain, snow, war and political upheavals fail to prevent him from producing the most entertaining and readable historical novels of his generation.' Daily Mail
'Cornwell's narration is quite masterly and supremely well-researched.' Observer
‘The best battle scenes of any writer I’ve ever read, past or present. Cornwell really makes history come alive.’ George R.R. Martin

Glorious until the end. A description that gives a feeling of a Battle that cost between 4500 and 6000 lives plus the horrifically maimed. Rupert's narration I never tire of.

Very good narration, another very enjoyable tale which again left me wanting to find out what happens next. Damn you Hakeswill!

Another great Sahrp

Another brilliant instalment of rattlingly good action and drama. This story sees the return of the diabolical Hakeswill. The narrator is absolutely superb.

I have been loving the Sharpe series and Rupert Farley is a joy to listen to. The narrator can make or break the audiobook experience - it doesn't matter how good the book is if I can't cope with the narration. But Mr Farley is wonderful - he is engaging and able to do the various accents convincingly (at least I think so) without being awkward or irritating to listen to.

Brilliant books, superb narrator

I can pretty much copy and paste these reviews because of their consistency. The read for these audiobooks have taken many of their cues and flavour from the TV series which were obviously based on the books themselves. Everything feels connected. The books are quite compact but so much happens, both on and off the field of battle.. Through the accents are far from perfect the do achieve in giving each individual 'character' What can be a little distracting is when Rupert Farley voices the female characters, it's not effective. But it's so good the rest of the time that the read is still worth 5 stars.
