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.

Most relevant
I enjoyed this but it has many discrepancies & the narrator has not been up to his best, his accents for a number of characters changed or not as good, particularly Harper and Hogan.

Discrepancies including Sharpe being a Major one minute and a Captain the next, but he's not made a major until later that year. Harper referred to as a RSM when he still should be a Sergeant.

Sharpe claims he has only ever had one rifle, but he gave one away to Theresa and lost another before this novel. Also Theresa asks for a rifle, even though she had Sharpe's from Sharpe's Gold.

Not the best, but still enjoyable
