Sooooo, here's my issue: I've got a few options already loaded onto my waterproof player, but the next one up as heralded by Simon Vance's plummy tones before I cut it off is #6 in the Aubrey/Maturin series, The Fortune of War. I told myself I was going to wait until Labor Day weekend, but I'm mightily tempted. Should I be strong and skip through to my next choice? Or cave, given that summer is short and almost over and I love O'Brian while I swim?
