What a day! I finished listening to Sharpe’s Devil on my way home from work, then finished reading Sharpe’s Waterloo in the evening, then read Sharpe’s Ransom. And now it’s all over, and already I’m looking forward to re-reading and re-listening in a few years. I can tell that you had great fun with Admiral Lord Cochrane. His autobiography is a treat, if you haven’t seen it. You made up the lovely town of Puerto Crucero. Did you base it on any particular place on the Chilean coast? Google Earth let’s us see not only great satellite shots of our planet, but includes various photos people have taken of scenic locations. There’s a lovely place that could be Puerto Crucero, if people had settled there, so I’m wondering. You’ve made me want to go to Portugal – Porto, especially. That seminary Sharpe captured is still there – you can see it on Google Earth. Thank you for many enjoyable hours. Ed Hume
