I finished the sixth A/M, The Fortune of War, read by Simon Vance, another terrific listen although I did catch Patrick O'Brian in an error. It's 1813 and one of the American characters makes a reference to going to the state of Maine, but Maine didn't become a state until 1820. In 1813 it was part of Massachusetts.
I've started the first of Philip Kerr's Berlin Noir books, March Violets, read by John Lee. The story is entertaining enough but I don't like Lee's narration; print is better. Lee is just too slow! I recently finished his narration of Birds Without Wings and it was one of my best-ever listens, but I bumped up the speed to 1.25X which I can't do on my MP3 player.
@CRussel: In perusing the A/M offerings at Audible, I've noticed that Patrick Tull reads the books at a much slower rate than Simon Vance. Fortune of War, for example, takes 10½ hours for Vance but 13 hours for Tull, a very significant difference. I really have to check out Tull and see if speed is a factor in my liking.
