Re: Does the 20th book in the Aubrey/Maturin series bring closure?

Yeah, there is some sense of closure at the end of book 20.  The 2 main 
characters don't die or retire, but for myself, I was satisfied at the 
end of book 20.  One of the main characters gets his heart's desire, and 
the other a kind of peace of mind that's always eluded him.  Hope that 
doesn't give away too much!

For myself, I was still under the impression that O'Brian intended to 
stop with book 20 (he had said at one point that such was his intent) 
when I finished it, and was OK with the way things ended up.
