Newly Reissued

Richard Sharpe returns to the battlefields of the Iberian Peninsula, where he and his men bravely fight the French invasion into Portugal in 1809. The world-renowned Sharpe series is now available with gorgeous packaging for a new generation of readers and listeners.

A few years after Richard Sharpe’s heroic exploits on the battlefields of Trafalgar, Sharpe finds himself once again in Portugal, fighting the savage armies of Napoleon Bonaparte, as they try to bring the whole of the Iberian Peninsula under their control. Travelling with a small British contingent, Sharpe is on the lookout for Kate Savage, the daughter of an English wine shipper, who has gone missing a few months before. But just as he follows the first leads to the missing girl, the French onslaught on Portugal begins and the city of Oporto becomes a bloody scene of carnage and disaster as it falls into the hands of the enemy.

The details of the history

The author does an awesome job at detailing all the small things. Putting you into the characters world and marching right along side Sharpe. The history woven into the story is both captivating and intriguing. Like your living it in real time!

Great as usual

Moving thru the series and this one does not disappoint! On to the next in the series

Another great Sharpe Adventure

We’ve really enjoyed the “newer” Sharpe stories which begin in India and include many more details than the original books. Our first exposure to Sharpe was through the Sean Bean TV adaptations which bear surprisingly little similarity to the books. We also love the Farley narrations.

Great book, best actor on audible

I really enjoyed this one, and again this voice actor is just unbelievably good. I wish he would go back and do the other sharpe novels that he did not narrate.

Great book; No Historical notes.

Would have liked the "Historical Notes" of the print version included, but not so much that I'll ding it a point.

Great Book and Best Narrator

This is one of the Sharpe novels that's written after Sharpe's Waterloo, but great book nonetheless. Only one noticeable continuity error concerning Sharpe meeting Daddy Hill in this before Sharpe's Rifles. Rupert Farley is a great Narrator, and got Sharpe's and Harper's voices to sound like Sean Bean's and Daragh O'Malley, respectively.

Step-by-step details

Sharp always gets his man in the end he is always loyal to his men and people who are loyal to him

Still great

This is my second time through the sharpe series. Even better than I remembered. Wonderful escapist entertainment.

More Sharpe

Another excellent installment of Cornwell's Sharpe series covering the Northern Portugal campaign. As usual, the performance by Rupert Farley is spot on, with a very pleasant narrative that is ready to understand and to listen to.

Narration

Much better interpretation by this narrator than the last. More familiar along with the numerous others he has done for this series.
