Sharpe is back.

The global best seller Bernard Cornwell returns with his iconic hero, Richard Sharpe.

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

Lieutenant-Colonel Sharpe is a man with a reputation. Born in the gutter, raised a foundling, he joined the army 21 years ago, and it’s been his home ever since. He’s a loose cannon, but his unconventional methods make him a valuable weapon.

So when, the dust still settling after the Battle of Waterloo, the duke of Wellington needs a favour, he turns to Sharpe. For Wellington knows that the end of one war is only the beginning of another. Napoleon's army may be defeated, but another enemy lies waiting in the shadows—a secretive group of fanatical revolutionaries hell-bent on revenge.

Sharpe is dispatched to a new battleground: the maze of Paris streets where lines blur between friend and foe. And in search of a spy, he will have to defeat a lethal assassin determined to kill his target or die trying....

Classic Sharpe

Great story by Cornwell, fits right at home with the rest of the series. I prefer the other voice actor to Farley; however, he did a great job all the same.

Fitting Addition to Sharpe's adventures

I’m going to miss Sharpe so much

Great fun. This recording may feature the best narrator of the series. A fitting end to the series (although one can always hope for just one more).

Excellent, Excellent

Loved reading another Sharpe novel. It fell in place like I’d read the last one days ago.

The storytelling was first rate as was the narration. Sharpe and Harper’ skill, luck, and rage got them through amazing scrapes, as always; and it was delightful to read.

One can only hope Bernard Cornwell will be able to conjure additional Sharpe stories to delight us in the future.

Like the joy of talking to an old friend
