Summary
*SHARPE’S COMMAND, the brand new novel in the global bestselling series, is available to pre-order now*
Spain, June 1812
In the beautiful city of Salamanca, Captain Richard Sharpe must hunt down and safeguard Britain’s most valuable spy, ‘El Mirador’, before he’s silenced by France’s deadliest assassin – even at the risk of his own life.
In the shadowy world of Salamanca’s high society, where secrecy blurs the lines between friend and foe, it seems that other figures are out to destroy the British. Whilst outside the city’s walls, the armies gather for one of the biggest battles of the war – and risking everything for victory, even betraying one he loves, is Sharpe . . .
‘A master storyteller’ DAILY TELEGRAPH

‘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

The Power of Lust and Treachery
Rupert Farley is a wonder as always in his mastery of the story and of cause Richard, well, is Richard. My only slight criticism was during "The Battle of Salamanca", and this would only be if you had any knowledge, was the initial development on the French left. But hey it is Fiction, isn't it?

Another excellent audiobook
I have loved these books for years, and I love the narrator's reading of them. It's just how it sounded in my head (except he's better at the accents!)

Near Death
This is onetime that Richard Shape is beaten and is so near to death. Sharpe still gets the girl.

Sharpe series
Rupert Farley was made for the Sharpe series. His performance is exceptional and Cornwell books are incredibly well written. Absolutely gripping stuff

These books are always 5 stars.
As long as you have a basic knowledge of the era, you can jump into these books any time as they are very self-contained.
These books are quite compact and quite focused but they are so full of drama, intrigue, danger, and passion. I don't need to say any more than that.
I watched Sharp as a TV series and they were so loyal to the books, Sharp's backstory was moulded to fit Sean Bean's performance. The voice actor captures the essence that I am familiar with.
