If you have not read any of these novels I envy you, what a wonderful treat Awaits you. Start at the beginning with Master and Commander and you Will have the pleasure of about eighteen more stories to come. The author Is probably the greatest novelist of the 20th century. The subject is Nelson -s navy and the war at sea , but much much more than that.

5th book in the master and commander series by Patrick O'Brian who according to the Sunday Times is the best historical novelist of all time. I find the novels compelling, easy reading but don't take my word the many professional reviews have already said it all. There are 20 novels in the series and I intend to read them all.
