About this listen

Spain, January 1812

Lieutenant Richard Sharpe faces threats from all sides when an old adversary joins the ranks. Yet, despite the risks, he must embark on a deadly mission – to capture the impenetrable fortress of Badajoz.

It’s a long, cold winter for war as the French force onwards – but Sharpe’s battle-rage burns. Only a Forlorn Hope, a near-suicidal move into the breach, will give the army hope of capturing the fortress. And boldly leading the attack is Sharpe . . .

Critic reviews

"Sharpe and his creator are national treasures." (Sunday Telegraph)

"Bernard Cornwell is a literary miracle. Year after year, hail, rain, snow, war and political upheavals fail to prevent him from producing the most entertaining and readable historical novels of his generation." (Daily Mail)

"Cornwell's narration is quite masterly and supremely well-researched." (Observer)

"The best battle scenes of any writer I've ever read, past or present. Cornwell really makes history come alive." (George R.R. Martin)
All stars
Most relevant  
This book is electric from start to finish, with 2 tremendous siege scenes to bookend it. The middle is carried by the very dramatic turn of events for Sharpe and the arrival of his great personal enemy.

Rupert Farley gives a tour-de-force performance, and is easily one of the best narrators of all time.

This one is not to be missed!!!

One of the best books I’ve ever read!

Story genius and narration perfection

I think the narration and the detail of the story is so good, that listening is the best way to consume all the Sharpe novels

Amazing, as always
