Sharpe’s Prey jumps Richard Sharpe forward a couple of years from Trafalgar, to 1807, with the British invasion of Copenhagan. I never knew about this event. The Brits didn’t think the Danes were an enemy. Yet the Danish naval fleet was the only one left in Europe, and England had to deny the fleet to the French, at whatever cost to the Danes. This Bernard Cornwell book didn’t grab me as the earlier ones did, but the pages turned all the same.

Sometimes life feels this way
From my friend Karl:
If you don’t think life is a competition, you must be losing.
I think he was kidding… but only partly.
