Chronologically entry #14 in [author:Bernard Cornwell|12542]'s long-running Sharpe series, this was first published in 2023 making it entry number 22 if going by publication date.

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!

One of the best found footage films (1 more)
Genuinely scary
Scary
A great little Spanish horror film that has a realism about it you just don't get in many horror films. This did so well the Western remake was done just a few months later and also got good reviews @Quarantine (2008) . It's very short at 70mins but brutal and shocking after a slow opening. Filmed from the point of view of a local TV camera man, it's a found footage film like Blairwitch and Cloverfield, making a documentary about the local fire service. They go out on a call to a local apartment block, beginning a series of shocking events.
There are 2 sequels that are worth checking out and a sequel to the American version as well.
