About this listen

‘Captivate, kill or destroy the whole force of the enemy’ was the order given to the American soldiers.

THE FORT is the blistering new novel from worldwide bestseller Bernard Cornwell.

Summer 1779.

Seven hundred and fifty British soldiers and three small ships of the Royal Navy. Their orders: to build a fort above a harbour to create a base from which to control the New England seaboard.

Forty-one American ships and over nine hundred men. Their orders: to expel the British.

The battle that followed was a classic example of how the best-laid plans can be disrupted by personality and politics, and of how warfare can bring out both the best and worst in men. It is a timeless tale of men at war, written by a master storyteller.

Critic reviews

‘Nobody in the world does this stuff better than Cornwell’ Lee Child

‘Bernard Cornwell is a literary miracle. Year after year, hail, rain, snow, war and political upheavals fail to prevent him from producing the most entertaining and readable historical novels of his generation.' Daily Mail

Would you try another book from Bernard Cornwell and/or Robin Bowerman?

i like the sharpe series robin bowerman was alright as the narrator but the story could have been a lot better a bit dissapointing after the sharpe books

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

a think a little less of the letter extracts and more on the storyline the ending is also a bit flat not one of bernards better books

What does Robin Bowerman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

i think he brings some characters to life

Do you think The Fort needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

no not really one like that is enough
