I’ve circumnavigated the audiobooks with Patrick Tull quite happily, and only recently picked up the first book (and #8 FSotW) at the used book store because I want to represent my shipmates on my bookshelf. I’m a big reader generally, but hadn’t read this series because I pretty much only buy my books at the used book store, and one can’t control what one finds. It was a joy to visit the music room at Port Mahon again, and it occurs to me be to ask:

    I was pretty disappointed after purchasing Vance’s Master and Commander because shortly thereafter, the Vance versions disappeared from Downpour. That’s why I ended up with Tull’s Post Captain. I did find CDs of the rest of the Vance series on Amazon, but ripping dozens of discs is tedious.

      Understandable! I will say that, if the King’s yards aren’t providing what you need to continue your voyage, there’s already the option to go privateer. It’s not something I’ve really done, but there it is.
