Ann's Friend Comments

Thanks, I'll eagerly check it out - later. I just ordered book #16, so I'm good for nothing else for now (I'm such a slow reader).

I have not found so unique a series but I'll honestly admit I haven't tried the other "Early British Navy" series, such as Horatio Hornblower. Based on your books and reviews, and the fact that we seem to have similar preferences, I would recommend the Masters of Rome series by Colleen McCullough, one of the few that I think measures up to Aubrey/Maturin, with superb characters and wonderful plots.

I'm on book 14 now - any suggestions what to follow these with?

Hello new friend Ann. Thank you for flattering me with your nice words about my reviews. We have many similar tastes in books.

I envy you in that you're only halfway through the Aubrey/Maturin series. I inhaled that series like turkey gravy. It is such a loss that O'Brien is gone, but he'll live on through people like us.

Great to "meet" you!
