I realize none of these readers is Steven Fry, but something a bit closer would be better.

But a delightful series that I am thoroughly enjoying.
I agree with your assessment of the voice of Jeeves - that one cries out for a proper, somber English butler's voice.

I'm currently listening to "Plan B" of the Liaden books (Sharon Lee & Steve Miller). I'm really appreciating how many subplots that book is juggling:

Clutch Turtles & Juntavas
Nova yos' Galan & Angela Lizardi
The Dutiful Passage
The Xtrang on Lytaxin
Nelerik Explorer's story
The Department of the Interior
Miri & Clan Erob
