About this listen

‘Sharpe and his creator are national treasures.' Sunday Telegraph

Spain, August 1810

The English army faces ruin in Spain – and the Duke of Wellington is desperate for money to fund the war. Only a cache of hidden Spanish gold can save them. And only Captain Richard Sharpe has the cunning to capture it.

In the treacherous terrain of the Portuguese hills, with rain sweeping the peninsula, a powerful guerrilla leader holds possession of the gold. And risking everything for the ultimate prize – for his honour, for his army’s fate – is Sharpe . . .

What the critics say

‘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

The story and reading itself is immaculate, Rupert Farley does an amazing job at keeping the listener interested.
However the only reason I gave it 3 stars is because throughout the chapters it would stop every couple of minutes as if it is buffering. It did this while connected ri WiFi as well which got irritating quite easily having to pause and let it catch up every so often.

Bad buffering
