From New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell, the eleventh installment in the world-renownedSharpe series, chronicling the rise of Richard Sharpe, a Private in His Majesty’s Army at the siege of Seringapatam.

In the winter of 1811, the war seems lost. Spain has fallen to the French, except for Cadiz, now the Spanish capital and itself under siege. Inside the city walls an intricate diplomatic dance is taking place and Richard Sharpe faces more than one enemy.

The small British force is trapped by a French army, and their only hope lies with the outnumbered redcoats outside refusing to admit defeat. There, in the sweltering horror of Barrosa, Sharpe will meet his old enemy Colonel Vandal once again.

I have listened to hundreds of historical fiction novels, and have listened to this series in chronological order. Bernard Cornwell is among the few best in this genre. This book was well read, had intriguing and complex battle strategy and all the drama and heroism that I crave. I really enjoyed hearing that Captain Sharpe finally took a bath.

Well done in every way

Cadiz and French and Spanish treachery. A French officer imprisoned British soldier sent for a flag of truce. Sharpe is determined to get revenge and gets an opportunity when the British attack a hill against an outnumbering force of French. There was a large Spanish force nearby but they refused to engage.

My only complaint is the accent choice for the Spanish/American woman. What in the world is that accent supposed to be? It sure doesn’t sound American. It’s like the author is trying to mimic the voice of a modern Jewish woman from New York City. It sticks out badly in this reading.

Overall Another great Sharpe story

Second time listening to this humble Hero! Liked better the second time around! Still hung on every word of the Battle and understood it even better the second time around.

Bernard Cornwall’s words of description are better than any video could ever be!

Second time listening to this humble Hero!
