"Gripping action that's not for the fainthearted." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Cornwell again makes writing flawless historical prose seem effortless." -- Library Journal (starred review)

"Cornwell, who recently wrapped up his Last Kingdom series, which focused on the early history of Britain, has never let his fans down, and regular readers of the Sharpe novels have been eagerly awaiting this one's arrival." -- Booklist

"Sharpe fans will find Sharpe's Command up to snuff with the other novels in this series, with Sharpe's old comrades in arms, like rifleman Daniel Hagman, Maj. Hogan and the Irishman Sgt. Harper, very much present. Meanwhile, newcomers may take delight and relief in exchanging the problems and mores of our present age for those of another place and time. Enjoy!" -- Smoky Mountain News
