Fantastic Narration

While the story suffers a little as it leans a little more on invention than fact, as well as a few anachronistic terms, it serves as a great coda to Waterloo, providing answers to some of the questions left.

Excellent vocal performance breathes life into the characters with inflection, and will serve the fans of the Sharpe films very well.

Great story

An excellent addition to the Sharpe library. Farley did well. I must admit I couldn't imagine what was missing from the Sharpe series, but this really filled in some gaps. The way Morris was worked in was brilliant. Now if only Mr Cornwell could arrange a flogging for Henry Simmerson all ends would be appropriately tied up.

Fitting Epilogue

This audiobook takes place right after the battle of Waterloo and puts a nice bow on Sharpe’s service under the Peer. I loved it!
