Summary

Richard Sharpe, a former private in His Majesty's army who now commands a company of riflemen, finds himself fighting his old enemies, the French, at the extraordinary battle of Barossa in 1811.

Sharpe has been sent by the Duke of Wellington on a mission to Cadiz, now the capital of Spain, to rescue the British ambassador, who happens to be Wellington's brother, from a spot of undiplomatic trouble. The city has been blockaded by the French but is supported by the British from the sea. It contains a rare mix of pro- and anti-British Spaniards, diplomats, courtiers, adventurers, and spies.

Sharpe's mission - complicated, undercover, and political - turns out to be completely different from the one on which he was sent. It brings him through the besieging enemy army to triumph in the battle of Barossa, where the British, deserted by their allies, defeat an overwhelmingly stronger French force.

Please note: This is the abridged edition. An unabridged version is also available.

"Once again, Cornwell is right on target, providing an irresistible combination of rousing military history, penetrating character analysis, and suspenseful martial intrigue." (Booklist)

Not my most favourihte Sharpe Novel

I felt the plot and characters in this novel lacked the depth found in the earleir of Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe novels.

Overall an ok listen but not the best of the Sharpe stories. Its almost inconsequential that Sharp & Harper appear in the plot as if it could have happened without them really. Bit disapointed as I'm an avid Richard Sharpe fan.

Not read by Rupert Farley - check before downloading.

Very frustratingly downloaded this without noticing that, for some reason this copy has been produced when there is another version Red by Rupert Farley. Naturally, his is the voice that you need and this is not it. It’s abridged but the same price.
