SHARPE IS BACK.
The brand new novel from Bernard Cornwell in the globally bestselling Sharpe series.
Spain, 1812. Richard Sharpe, the most brilliant – but the most wayward – soldier in the British army, finds himself faced with an impossible task.
Two French armies march towards each other. If they meet, the British are lost. And only Sharpe – with just his cunning, his courage and a small band of rogues to rely on – stands in their way . . .

This is set back in the middle of the Peninsular War - The Bridge at Alamaraz in May 1812 to be precise - putting it after [book:Sharpe's Company|173794] (The Siege of Badajoz, January - April 1812) but before [book:Sharpe's Sword|492920] (the Salamanca Campaign of June and July 1812).
As such, the Spanish Guerilla leader Teresa is still a major part of Sharpe's life, and also plays a role in the action-packed proceedings here.
Whilst there may be some truth to the charge that these novels are becoming formulaic, when they're this entertaining you don't mind!
