About this listen

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

Major Sharpe finds himself a fugitive, hunted by enemy and ally alike.

Major Richard Sharpe awaits the opening shots of the army’s campaign with grim expectancy. For victory depends on the increasingly fragile alliance between Britain and Spain – an alliance that must be maintained at any cost.

Pierre Ducos, the wily French intelligence officer, sees a chance both to destroy the alliance and to achieve a personal revenge on Richard Sharpe. And when the lovely spy, La Marquesa, takes a hand in the game, Sharpe finds himself enmeshed in a web of political intrigue for which his military expertise has left him fatally unprepared.

Soldier, hero, rogue – Sharpe is the man you always want on your side. Born in poverty, he joined the army to escape jail and climbed the ranks by sheer brutal courage. He knows no other family than the regiment of the 95th Rifles whose green jacket he proudly wears.

'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

There have been some stalling moments in this series. Sharpes gold and Sharps sword were a little slow. This was a break from battle / setback / battle / setback / battle / final win formula that had marked the series to this point.

I think Richard Sharpe deserved the ending this story had. And the pace, detail, plot, characters and subtext was all superb.

I’m really starting to appreciate the production. Rupert Farley really does well as the English gent (screeching ’Sharpe!’ When there’s backchat) Spanish officer, partisan, northern Yorkshire Sharpe (a bit of a Sean Bean impression clashing with the Wapping originn story of the pre TV books) and northern / southern Irish and even Scottish. Good pace and emphasis on the narration.

I enjoyed this book, both story and production. You’d need to cover the story up to this point to get it - so it’s not really stand alone. But it’s a great addition to what’s shaping up to be a pretty dynamic and solid saga. And I can’t wait to start the next one… that I’m going to do right now!!

Very good - and very well done.
