Nov 9, 2025
Most Sharpe novels, somewhere in the authors notes towards the end, has six words:
"Sharpe and Harper will march again"
This one doesn't.
Indeed, in said authors notes Bernard Cornwell even says himself he cannot promise that there will be any more of the Sharpe novels: whilst he doesn't mention this, he himself is now getting on a bit, now (at the date of publication) in his 80s.
So it's understandable, especially with the publication of this delayed by over a year.
Anyway, this is set in between the times of 'Sharpe's Regiment' and 'Sharpe's Siege', as the British forces under Wellington are in the early stages of the invasion of France.
River crossings are a tricky proposition.
The Battle of the Nive, of which this is largely about, being one such.
If it is the last Sharpe novel, I'll miss reading these.
