One of my favorites

I have read all the O"Brian books in the series and now love listening to them during my commute and the Mauritus Command is one of my favorites, probably because most of the book takes place at sea and I, too, like to "think of the lovely smell" of gunpowder.

Delightful

This is the second O'Brian audiobook I've listened to, and it was as enjoyable as the first. Recommended!
