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.

I thought I was losing my marbles with the story inconsistencies, 2 characters I thought were dead were reincarnated in the 1st chapter!! BUT, I loved both of these characters so was thrilled for their reprieve 😂 I didn’t know if to feel mad about these inconsistencies - but B.C started writing these stories in 1981, so no judgement! I struggle to recall my shopping list in its entirety.. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Great story. I’ve been waiting for it’s release! And he didn’t disappoint. Thanks B.C for another edition.

Great story! Eagerly anticipated

Bernard Cornwall’s use of historical detail is second to none. The research that’s gone into the background of this is superb. As someone who researched the use of artillery in the Peninsula War I particularly enjoy the accuracy with which Bernard describes the ordnance and its use. And let’s face it, no one writes battles better than Bernard. Also no one narrates the Sharpe novels better than Rupert Farley.

Use of Historical detail is superb!
