About this listen
Spain, June 1812
In the beautiful city of Salamanca, Captain Richard Sharpe must hunt down and safeguard Britain’s most valuable spy, ‘El Mirador’, before he’s silenced by France’s deadliest assassin – even at the risk of his own life.
In the shadowy world of Salamanca’s high society, where secrecy blurs the lines between friend and foe, it seems that other figures are out to destroy the British. Whilst outside the city’s walls, the armies gather for one of the biggest battles of the war – and risking everything for victory, even betraying one he loves, is Sharpe . . .

'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

Sharpe vulnerable
The pace is exhilarating and the prose quite poetic in places. Sharpe survives a grievous wound but falls victim to a traitorous Marchioness. Brilliant narration.

The Power of Lust and Treachery
Rupert Farley is a wonder as always in his mastery of the story and of cause Richard, well, is Richard. My only slight criticism was during "The Battle of Salamanca", and this would only be if you had any knowledge, was the initial development on the French left. But hey it is Fiction, isn't it?

Another excellent audiobook
I have loved these books for years, and I love the narrator's reading of them. It's just how it sounded in my head (except he's better at the accents!)

Sharpe series
Rupert Farley was made for the Sharpe series. His performance is exceptional and Cornwell books are incredibly well written. Absolutely gripping stuff
