Not Worth a Credit for Abridged Version

By: Bernard Cornwell
Publisher's summary
New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell returns to the early years of the nineteenth century, capturing the bravery, battles, and bloodshed of Britain’s peninsular wars with this epic tale featuring his iconic hero Richard Sharpe.
Outsider.
Hero.
Rogue.
If any man can do the impossible it’s Richard Sharpe.
And the impossible is exactly what the formidable Captain Sharpe is asked to do when he’s sent on an undercover mission to a small village in the Spanish countryside, far behind enemy lines.
For the quiet, remote village, sitting high above the Almaraz bridge, is about to become the center of a battle for the future of Europe. Two French armies march towards the bridge, one from the North and one from the South. If they meet, the British are lost.
Only Sharpe's small group of men—with their cunning and courage to rely on—stand in their way. But they're rapidly outnumbered, enemies are hiding in plain sight, and as the French edge ever closer to the frontline, time is running out. . . .

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

Bernard Cornwell, the perennial New York Times bestselling author of the Richard Sharpe series and “perhaps the greatest writer of historical adventure novels today” (Washington Post) joins co-author Susannah Kells for A Crowning Mercy—a breathtaking romantic adventure set against the dramatic backdrop of the English Civil War. The exciting story of a rebellious Puritan woman on a perilous quest for love and fortune, A Crowning Mercy is a must for Cornwell fans as well as for devoted readers/listeners of Sharon Kay Penman and Diana Gabaldon.

Story
In the heart of Elizabethan England, Richard Shakespeare dreams of a glittering career in one of the London playhouses, a world dominated by his older brother, William. But he is a penniless actor, making ends meet through a combination of a beautiful face, petty theft, and a silver tongue. As William's star rises, Richard's onetime gratitude is souring, and he is sorely tempted to abandon family loyalty.

While the major fighting of the war moves to the south in the summer of 1779, a British force of fewer than a thousand Scottish infantry, backed by three sloops-of-war, sails to the desolate and fog-bound coast of New England. Establishing a garrison and naval base at Penobscot Bay, in the eastern province of Massachusetts that would become Maine, the Scots - the only British troops between Canada and New York - harry rebel privateers and give shelter to American loyalists....

Gripping
Cornwell is famous for his beautifully written historical novels. In this story entitled “Sharpe’s Command”, Cornwell tells the story of the Battle of Almaraz during the Peninsular War. This battle was fought on May 18-19, 1812. The Anglo-Portuguese Army under the command of General/Lord Rowland Hill destroyed a French Pontoon bridge over the Tagus River in Spain. Hill was a career soldier and was well liked by his men. At the Battle of Waterloo, Hill commanded the Second Corp. The bridge was protected by two forts on each bank of the river. This story is mostly about the capture of Fort Napoleon. The story is told through our hero Richard Sharpe. If you are interested in the Napoleonic Wars, I recommend this series about Richard Sharpe as an exciting way to learn about the war.
I read this as an audiobook downloaded from Audible. The book is nine hours and eighteen minutes. Rupert Farley does an excellent job narrating the book.

a solid but not outstanding addition
This was a pretty good book to add to the legacy of Sharpe. There's nothing about the story that's gonna stand out amongst the others too much. Kind of uses a formula we've seen before. But it also doesn't go in some weird direction either. I love the fact that the setting is around that time when the war could go in either direction. This was my favorite era of the novels.
The narration was solid, but for some reason, felt really bad when voicing Sharpes wife. Her accent was not very good when he performed it. Her decisions weren't always the best in the novel either, which made it kind of annoying. Always using too much emotion and not logical, simply wanting to kill everyone. I guess it's trying to show the level of hatred she has for the French.
Overall a solid edition, and I enjoyed it. It may be a little bit rinse and repeat for some people but,
I am glad to see the boo go back in time and revisit the era.
