A review by dmcke013
Sharpe's Command by Bernard Cornwell

4.0

Chronologically entry #14 in [a:Bernard Cornwell|12542|Bernard Cornwell|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1504578807p2/12542.jpg]'s long-running Sharpe series, this was first published in 2023 making it entry number 22 if going by publication date.

This is set back in the middle of the Peninsular War - The Bridge at Alamaraz in May 1812 to be precise - putting it after [b:Sharpe's Company|173794|Sharpe's Company (Sharpe, #13)|Bernard Cornwell|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388419408l/173794._SY75_.jpg|1093466] (The Siege of Badajoz, January - April 1812) but before [b:Sharpe's Sword|492920|Sharpe's Sword (Sharpe, #15)|Bernard Cornwell|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1387983795l/492920._SY75_.jpg|1093467] (the Salamanca Campaign of June and July 1812).

As such, the Spanish Guerilla leader Teresa is still a major part of Sharpe's life, and also plays a role in the action-packed proceedings here.

Whilst there may be some truth to the charge that these novels are becoming formulaic, when they're this entertaining you don't mind!
