Untitled Bernard Cornwell Book 1 Hardcover – 11 Oct. 2022

SHARPE IS BACK.
The brand new novel from Bernard Cornwell in the globally 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 . . .

Thanks to beanland.de

An apology
2024 is going to be the first year since 1980 that there will be no new Cornwell book delivered to my publisher. I am deeply sorry for that, and for those of you who were looking forward to Sharpe’s Storm I want to provide a brief explanation.
2024 has been a year from hell. I won’t go into detail, but just say there have been too many surgical procedures, chemotherapy sessions, dentists and hospital visits, and those things play merry hell with a writing schedule. Nevertheless I had finished about two thirds of the book by July when it all came to a screeching halt because of the Cape Cod Shakespeare Festival. I had agreed to play Prospero in The Tempest and a much smaller role in Romeo and Juliet. I knew, because I first played Prospero in 2016, that the role would take an immense amount of time; the part is long and not easy. I made an admittedly feeble effort to refuse and give the role to one of our professional actors, but the feeble effort was rejected and I had to first relearn the part and then give up day after day in rehearsals. I don’t regret it because I revel in being a member of a company composed of enthusiastic and talented young people (the pic shows me as Prospero and the incredibly talented Sadie O’Conor playing Ariel), but that indulgence meant more time lost. Also it was high summer which means the boat must be given time too, and so she was (Seraph, it’s an anagram!). I would also like to add that I am now 80 years old and, as the great George MacDonald Fraser once remarked to me, ‘you slow down at eighty.’ I have.
Sharpe’s Storm was still on track for completion. I needed to write about five more chapters and all the necessary research was done, but then I hit a road-block. I knew the events of Storm fell between Regiment and Siege and, reluctant as I am to re-read my books, I did glance through Sharpe’s Siege to check some facts and, to my horror, realised that the grand finale I had planned for Sharpe in Storm was impossible, because it would overlap with events in Siege. He might be a peerless hero, but even Sharpe cannot be in two places at once. Normally I would have consulted my extraordinary editor at HarperCollins to ask whether I could get away with it, but Susan had just unexpectedly and tragically died, and I was left to conclude that she would have brusquely told me not to be an idiot and find another solution. I’m happy to say that I have found a solution which will make Storm a much better book, but that solution demands intensive research, new chapters and a monumental rewrite of the existing chapters. Sharpe will be freed of the two-body problem, and all will be well, but it cannot be well in time for delivery and publication this year. For that I am sincerely sorry. I like the book, such as it is, and it certainly puts Sharpe through a monstrous ordeal, but it must wait for 2025 during which I promise to refuse any major Shakespearian role and will do my utmost to avoid doctors and, especially, dentists.
Bernard
