About this listen

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....

As with all the Sharpe stories, this one is full of love, honour, power, struggle and passion. I was gripped throughout and the characters remained true. I particularly like the historical context at the end, which explained what was true and which parts adapted. Highly recommended.

welcome back colonel Sharpe

Good performance but story itself a bit dull. Characters never really in peril. Just felt a little contrived. Given a bit of spark by the narrator, but overall just average.

Alright
