Sharpe's Command

Richard Sharpe and the Bridge at Almaraz, May 1812

By: Bernard Cornwell

Narrated by: Rupert Farley

New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell returns to the early years of the nineteenth century, capturing the bravery, battles, and bloodshed of Britain’s peninsular wars with this epic tale featuring his iconic hero Richard Sharpe.

Outsider.

Hero.

Rogue.

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

And the impossible is exactly what the formidable Captain Sharpe is asked to do when he’s sent on an undercover mission to a small village in the Spanish countryside, far behind enemy lines.

For the quiet, remote village, sitting high above the Almaraz bridge, is about to become the center of a battle for the future of Europe. Two French armies march towards the bridge, one from the North and one from the South. If they meet, the British are lost.

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 as the French edge ever closer to the frontline, time is running out. . . .

Another good Sharpe story

Small battle that was a key to Wellington’s success in the Peninsula war. It looks dire at times but Sharpe , Harper and company, manage through.

Has the narrator ever heard a woman speak before?

Good, if formulaic, Sharpe adventure. Definitely not his best, but consistently entertaining, as always. The narrator was not my favorite. Subjective. He made Theresa sound like an old drunk sailor man.

Great discription

Great historical fiction with plenty of historical facts with a minimal of distortion by Sharp and his rilelmen

Wonderful read. Both the authors art and the teaser
