Sharpe is back.

The global best seller Bernard Cornwell returns with his iconic hero, Richard Sharpe.

If any man can do the impossible, it's Richard Sharpe....

Lieutenant-Colonel Sharpe is a man with a reputation. Born in the gutter, raised a foundling, he joined the army 21 years ago, and it’s been his home ever since. He’s a loose cannon, but his unconventional methods make him a valuable weapon.

So when, the dust still settling after the Battle of Waterloo, the duke of Wellington needs a favour, he turns to Sharpe. For Wellington knows that the end of one war is only the beginning of another. Napoleon's army may be defeated, but another enemy lies waiting in the shadows—a secretive group of fanatical revolutionaries hell-bent on revenge.

Sharpe is dispatched to a new battleground: the maze of Paris streets where lines blur between friend and foe. And in search of a spy, he will have to defeat a lethal assassin determined to kill his target or die trying....

……my first Sharpe novel and now I’m going to have to go back over the entire series; there’s only so many ways you can say brilliant, so take it as read, this is, in every way. Bernard Cornwell is one of the very best historical fiction writers and his work is complimented in full by the Rupert Farley’s narration. Just brilliant. Enjoy.

I have been waiting for this to come out and have spent the last months re-listening to the whole trilogy. Bernard Cornwell produces another great story. Rupert Farley is a great narrator of what is another great story.

Enjoyable as ever....

A brilliantly narrated story. For me it was like having the characters of the tv series playing their parts throughout an intriguing part of history.

Another great story weaved into history

You’ll have to buy the book to find out.

It’s all here, do’s being dared, buckles swashed and Sharpe single handedly winning the Napoleonic wars. Of course he is ably assisted by the indomitable Pat Harper and the ever faithful South Essex.

Great fun.
