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

A great Sharpe story
I’ve been working my way through the Sharpe series in chronological order. This story, so far into the series, has as much excitement, intrigue and the rest of the emotional spectrum as the first book and gives an enthusiasm to see what Sharpe gets up to next. A must read/ listen. Rupert Farley does an amazing job narrating this series! Well done!
