Summary
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.

Another classic
Cornwell does not put a foot wrong. Yes, there's slight confusion from time to time regarding Sharpes rank, being a private in Tiger but later referred to as a sergeant and him being a full major here but though read in chronological order, they weren't written that way.
This is another thrilling addition to the series and as long as they can be written, people will be reading them. Superb. As always.

Brilliant narration.
Richard Sharpe is a wonderful hero. I love the vivid narration. You can smell the gun smoke.

Northern Sharpe?
Always had a problem with the accents on audible. In the books Sharpe is from the rookeries of London but the accent is always South Yorkshire - as per Sean Bean. Annoying. Also he is referred as Captain a couple of times but is actually a Major according to the text. Finally is Harper really from Donegal? The accent sounds more north east Ireland to me. I am available as proof reader/listener and at a reasonable rate too!

Great additional shorter length story- a few issues
I did very much enjoy the story and think that the shorter scope and scale of the book worked well as a small story to add to the series.
I did find that as well as some odd discrepancies in the story such as sharpes ever changing rank however my main irritant with this addition was the voice acting. Sharpe’s voice seemed tired and slower than in other books. Accents seem to change sentence to sentence for the same character. Hogan for example goes from Irish accent to sharing the same accent as the English officers. Not terrible but just a slight irritant.
All in all another great book that can be commended!

Slow start but bear with it
Was quite nervous after some of the negative reviews here. Thought the worst after the first chapter but it soon returns to normal Sharpe form.
Maybe the reviews planted the seed of doubt but they were soon removed

Great return from Sharpe
I have read a number of critical comments particularly about some small inconsistencies, yes a bit annoying . However, Cornwell uncovered, in this story, what was a significant engagement in this brutal military campaign which possibly helped shorten the Iberian war and in the ultimate defeat of Napoleon in 1815, so that’s a good start. You could close your eyes and think the main characters were straight from the TV series the naration was that good. The story was well put together with plenty of full on action and came with plenty of humour. Even if you have not seen the TV series the narrator made the characters come to life.
This author, despite of getting older, maintains his consistently good books and has not just rushed it off unlike some others.
Thank goodness that Sharpe will ride again, a super creation.
