Listened to this on Audible. Different narrator than the first couple. Took a while to get used to, mostly because his voice for Sharpe isn’t very distinctive. But still pretty good.

Took a little creativity to get Sharpe into the Battle of Trafalgar. But it was well done.

Not quite what I expected. Sharpe had very a little role in this novel.

Too formulaic and predictable to be genuinely enjoyable.

Wow, I think this is my favorite naval book so far. The daily activities and the warfare are so vividly described!

Great fun and informative as well, but loses points for anachronisms. "Lord Horatio Nelson" is unforgivable.
