About this listen

Spain, January 1812

Lieutenant Richard Sharpe faces threats from all sides when an old adversary joins the ranks. Yet, despite the risks, he must embark on a deadly mission – to capture the impenetrable fortress of Badajoz.

It’s a long, cold winter for war as the French force onwards – but Sharpe’s battle-rage burns. Only a Forlorn Hope, a near-suicidal move into the breach, will give the army hope of capturing the fortress. And boldly leading the attack is Sharpe . . .

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 good book. Given it's short in line as it's spread over a few months the story is well thought and like the others packed with adventure and action.

A rollercoaster of emotions from beginning to a happy ending
I’m a growing fan of the shorter chapters faction not that there’s any problem with longer chapters I found them easier to listen to

The best one so far but got lots to go thank god… absolutely loving this series… and hating Hakeswill, what a great villain!

Perfect

Usual daring do. Hero gets wrong end of stick. Baddy ascendant. Hero beats the odds and makes a further step forward. At the last, all is well with the world and baddy vanquished.
Still looking forward to hearing more of the formula. Enough twists to keep the interest going. I'm not likely to get bored in any foreseeable future.

Another ripping yarn

Bernard Cornwall is one of the best ever historical writers. His Sharpe series are a national treasure.

Fantastic story.

The characterisations of the narrator was excellent. Hakeswill should rightly be considered as one of the best novel villains of all time. The book is far superior to the TV series, which did not reflect the quality of the story. 10/10

Great Story
