And now I'm reading Sharpe's Triumph by Bernard Cornwell

These are excellent, I need to dip back in to see what next Sharpe was up to. I got hooked by the TV adaptations, and read several of the early ones. And at some point bought a bunch of them in eBook format on the cheap. Plus the Audible implementations are very good. Read mostly by Frederick Davidson (David Case), with a few by Patrick Tull. Two of the truly great male voices who are no longer with us.

I just finished the next in the series, Furious, in which we deal with a Longknife reduced to charity. But not for long.
I had lost track of this series, and was pleased to link back in to it again. Fluff, but fun fluff. Sadly, the Audible narration of these books is barely tolerable, so I ended up doing more reading than listening.
Currently reading
The Resistance Man, by Martin Walker. This is #6 in the Bruno, Chief of Police series, and I'm currently doing more listening than reading, but that will shift now that Kris Longknife is out of the way.
