I ended up not getting anything else in before the end of the year and yesterday I started fresh with Sharpe's Prey, read by Patrick Tull. This will be fun.
Interestingly to me, Cornwell addressed one of the issues I had in the prior book, by retroactively making Lady Grace an earl's daughter, thus accounting for her honorific. But not only was that never mentioned in Sharpe's Trafalgar, the internal evidence contradicts it. Oh, well. Better than nothing, I suppose; at least he's teachable!
