*SHARPE’S COMMAND, the brand new novel in the global bestselling series, is available to pre-order now*
Richard Sharpe, abandoned in enemy territory, has to trust in assistance from a hostile American privateer.
The invasion of France is under way and the British Navy has called upon the services of Major Richard Sharpe. He and a small force of riflemen are to capture a fortress and secure a landing on the French coast – one of the most dangerous missions of his career.
Through the reckless incompetence of a naval commander, Sharpe finds himself abandoned in the heart of enemy territory, facing overwhelming forces and the very real prospect of defeat. He has no choice but to trust his fortunes to an American privateer – a man who has no love for the British invaders.
Soldier, hero, rogue – Sharpe is the man you always want on your side. Born in poverty, he joined the army to escape jail and climbed the ranks by sheer brutal courage. He knows no other family than the regiment of the 95th Rifles whose green jacket he proudly wears.

One of the best parts. 1814, the Napoleonic Wars had started tipping towards English victory. An English invasion is planned, involving both naval and army forces, which soon turns out to involve secret plans and, well, treachery. Excellent three-dimensional depiction of land and naval operations, the period siege and defence tactics, military engineering, weaponry and... unexpected use of oyster shells. Two sieges of the same fortress follow under utterly different conditions and balance of powers. Arrogance, treason and foolhardiness. Hardboiled characters and sense of humour. A moving story of an enemy becoming and ally and a friend. The old rivalry and disdain between the navy and the army. Stories of heroic actions, misery and repugnant and absurd atrocities of war. Well balanced, if this is possible. The French officers are perhaps a bit overdrawn, not unlike the invincible Sharpe and his RSM but well, if you've already consumed the previous 17 parts it means secretly you wanted
