    About this audiobook

    *SHARPE’S COMMAND, the brand new novel in the global bestselling series, is available to pre-order now*

    Spain, May 1811

    As the British struggle to keep their last strongholds in Spain, Captain Richard Sharpe is handed a grenade of a command – ordered to train the Spanish palace guards for battle. But when the crumbling frontier fort where they are based becomes the target for the elite French attack, Sharpe is confronted by an old enemy.

    After a desperate fight, the British are badly beaten and bruised – and so is Sharpe’s fragile reputation. The only hope of redemption is glory in one of the fiercest battles of the whole war. And so leading his men through the blood-stained, narrow streets of Fuentes de Oñoro is Sharpe . . .

    • 4/5
      Rupert Farley gives a bravura performance of the many voices that populate this novel, especially the Spanish ones. But he also does a fine job with Sharpe's formidable antagonist who has both a French and a Scottish accent!
    • 5/5
      The Naration is so good, i feels like you are against the troops.. The colourful characters , the detailed description, Of the uniforms, the way a musket discharges its deathly payload.. So much detail & historically accurate... This guy is a master.
