Episode notes

Andrew Kuchins: I think he's interested in the nitpicking too. It always strikes me how interesting it is to still read an engaging adventure story with classical warfare as a backdrop. "I don't know, it works because guys doing creative stuff and he's fighting for his friends and he's stealing a bird"

Bring on the battalion of Dad Books! Cornwell started writing the Richard Sharpe novels because he wanted something like Horatio Hornblower on land. Well, we haven't read any Hornblower yet but we can attest that this book sure is about a British rifleman fighting in the army during the Napoleonic Wars!

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
