I see that Bernard Cornwell is releasing yet another book about Richard Sharpe's exploits in the Peninsular War in Spain

"The brand new novel from Bernard Cornwell in the global bestselling Sharpe series.
Spain, 1812. Richard Sharpe, the most brilliant - but the most wayward - soldier in the British army, finds himself faced with an impossible task.
Two French armies march towards each other. If they meet, the British are lost. And only Sharpe - with just his cunning, his courage and a small band of rogues to rely on - stands in their way . . ."


This book fits in between Sharpe's Sword and Sharpe's Enemy during 1812.

This will sure to be on my 'wish list for my birthday or Christmas list this year.

John,

Thanks for sharing this! I'm very much looking forward to reading it - hopefully it will be under the Christmas tree this year for me.

I am really looking forward to the new book, the one released in 2021 i read in less than 2 days after i got it, on the day it was released.

If you are seeking another writer of a similar genre i would recommend Adrian Goldworthy, he wrote a great fiction series of books on British Gentlemen Soldiers, opposite to Sharp, Gentlemen who initially served as infantry, but were allowed in the officers mess etc as they were gentlemen but did not have the funds to purchase a commission.

Another is the Markham of the Marines 3 book series by Tom Connery

Thanks for the tip, but I've read them too, but I'm always on the lookout for historical fiction from the Napoleonic Wars.
