Currently:
Homeworld (E Currie) - Space Opera but fun
Bear Island ( A Maclean) - it was on TV last week and not how I remembered it so I wanted to check, damn the evils of instant download kindle books (which also saw me purchase HMS Ullsses, Ice Station Zebra, When Eight Bells Toll and Where Eagles Dare!)

Storm and Conquest - The Battle for the Indian Ocean 1808-10 (S Taylor)

just finished
Incomparable: Napoleon's 9th Light Infantry Regiment (TE Crowdy)
The Korean War (M Hastings)
The Eagle Has Landed (J Higgins) - more kindle inspired nostalgia!
