About this listen
*SHARPE’S COMMAND, the brand new novel in the global bestselling series, is available to pre-order now*
Spain, December 1812
In a deathly cold winter on the Spanish-Portuguese border, a group of deserters take British hostages and it falls to Major Richard Sharpe to lead the perilous rescue mission in the biting cold mountains – where he faces one of his oldest, and most cunning, adversaries.
The British army’s fate rests on the hostages’ liberation. Outnumbered and attacked from two sides, it looks like surrender or certain death on the Gateway of God pass. Yet prepared to hold his ground, or risk his life trying, is Sharpe . . .
‘A master storyteller’ DAILY TELEGRAPH

‘Sharpe and his creator are national treasures.' Sunday Telegraph
'Bernard Cornwell is a literary miracle. Year after year, hail, rain, snow, war and political upheavals fail to prevent him from producing the most entertaining and readable historical novels of his generation.' Daily Mail
'Cornwell's narration is quite masterly and supremely well-researched.' Observer
‘The best battle scenes of any writer I’ve ever read, past or present. Cornwell really makes history come alive.’ George R.R. Martin

Best Yet
Sharpe gains clarity. A Master of War and Death. But a tragic in life. Life for Sharpe will always be a battle and even as one Enemy is eliminated, a future Enemy is already being formed to match Obadiah. The most compelling book of series to date.

Love these books
I love the Sharpe series but hearing it on audio book for the first time made me realise the importance of the narrator. I shouldn't be so annoyed by the fact that someone who was raised in the alleys of a London slum has somehow acquired a thick Geordie accent but I found myself cringing every time Sharpe spoke a line. Other than this minor annoyance it was great.

Emotional reality of characters
So real, I just love all the characters involved in this story line. The action is detailed and lively. A master storyteller who is hard to match .
