Re: The Iberian Flame
I finished The Iberian Flame this morning (audiobook) as I crested Artillery Hill on my morning walk and reviewed it in my mind as I descended the 'lee' side of the hill.
While I realize that the timeline of the 'post Nelson navy' and the duties that come with 'advanced career' lessen the likelihood of 'naval action at sea', it is still 'the duff' that brings expectation to the meal as it does to our reading of 'good HNF'.
I found The Iberian Flame to be well researched fiction based on historical events (both political and military). However, I also found it 'lacking in duff'.

Re: The Iberian Flame
I was a little confused. On page 103 it listed Poulden as coxswain in the captain's barge. Shouldn't it be Halgren at this point?
