Summary
*SHARPE’S COMMAND, the brand new novel in the global bestselling series, is available to pre-order now*
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 . . .
‘A master storyteller’ DAILY TELEGRAPH
Critic reviews
‘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

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!)

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?

Brilliantly written and superbly narrated
What made the experience of listening to Sharpe's Sword: The Salamanca Campaign, June and July 1812 the most enjoyable?
Like most followers of Sharpe, I have read all the books and watched the series. Audio books from Audible adds a new level of enjoyment not least because Rupert Farley is supreme. Voices, accents ... a joy to listen to. Only three left! What then?
What other book might you compare Sharpe's Sword: The Salamanca Campaign, June and July 1812 to, and why?
The whole Sharpe series
