Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O’Brian. Set during the Napoleonic Wars and unlike the disaster times we are living these portray what real men can do. Granted these are fictional works, but based on real events from history. I on book 20 (of 20) just now and hate to see the end coming! I HIGHLY recommend this series!!!!!

Great series.
It certainly is. I've got the entire set and will read again soon. Fantastic, evocative writing from O'Brian. I'm a fan.
Currently reading Barrow's Boys. Factual accounts of British funded exploration in Africa and the search for a Northwest Passage.
