Sharpe's Command (Sharpe Series #14)

New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell returns to the early years of the nineteenth century, capturing the bravery, battles, and bloodshed of Britain's peninsular wars with this epic tale featuring his iconic hero Richard Sharpe.

Outsider.

Hero.

Rogue.

If any man can do the impossible it's Richard Sharpe.

And the impossible is exactly what the formidable Captain Sharpe is asked to do when he's sent on an undercover mission to a small village in the Spanish countryside, far behind enemy lines.

For the quiet, remote village, sitting high above the Almaraz bridge, is about to become the center of a battle for the future of Europe. Two French armies march towards the bridge, one from the North and one from the South. If they meet, the British are lost.

Only Sharpe's small group of men-with their cunning and courage to rely on-stand in their way. But they're rapidly outnumbered, enemies are hiding in plain sight, and as the French edge ever closer to the frontline, time is running out. . . .

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Gripping action that’s not for the fainthearted." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Cornwell again makes writing flawless historical prose seem effortless." — Library Journal (starred review)

“Cornwell, who recently wrapped up his Last Kingdom series, which focused on the early history of Britain, has never let his fans down, and regular readers of the Sharpe novels have been eagerly awaiting this one’s arrival.” — Booklist

“Sharpe fans will find Sharpe’s Command up to snuff with the other novels in this series, with Sharpe’s old comrades in arms, like rifleman Daniel Hagman, Maj. Hogan and the Irishman Sgt. Harper, very much present. Meanwhile, newcomers may take delight and relief in exchanging the problems and mores of our present age for those of another place and time. Enjoy!” — Smoky Mountain News
