Spain, March 1811

Cadiz is under siege – the last city standing in France’s conquest of Spain. So Captain Richard Sharpe must navigate the spymasters and murderous factions within its walls – and see off deadly threats from more than one enemy.

Deserted by their ailing Spanish allies, the British are heavily outnumbered as they prepare to halt the French at Barrosa – their last chance of liberating the fortress city of Cadiz. And ready to face his old enemy in battle 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

Good book, definitely don't skip it, but the story is rather weak compared to the rest of the series unfortunately. same story of sharpe being cut off from the rest of the army, same story of a beautiful woman, same battles, but just haphazardly jammed together with very little characterisation. continues the general sharpe theme of ending without giving you any (sorely sought after) post - story roundup or conclusion- I often sorely wish that the story would continue for a few months after to see how everything developed or impacted the wider campaign.

Good but not the best of the series

A definite 3 parter. Part one, the setup and backstory. Part 2, Richard Sharpe the rogue plies his trade. Part 3, the battle.

It has the hallmarks of a Sharpe story. A mission. Intrigue. Connections to the highest historical characters. A little gold. A woman - who he doesn’t keep and… a fierce battle where the thin red line savages the French to bloody ruin, again, with volley after volley and a charge of cold steel.

This one is viscous and has a touch of espionage and real suspense. It’d make a good Hollywood movie.

If you like Sharpe. You’ll like this. It’s one of the better ones.

I’ve come to rely on Rupert Farley to present these. There’s no one else for me now in this world, when I go to war with Sharpe, Harper, Harris and Hagman.

This action adventure will glue you in

Excellent story as usual, can’t beat Bernard Cornwell for historical novels. These stories just get better and better.

Excellent

The security of another Sharpe cracker. After a dozen in the series you can guess what’s coming but it doesn’t disappoint! Great.

Another cracker
