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!!!!!

I read posts on 24hr CF
Oh and my 7yr old niece left a Hardy Boys mystery book here. Figured why not, I read some of those when I was young.
Good book, may have to get some more

Mark in GA 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.

Just finished the latest release in the Galaxy’s Edge series. Started a post collapse (emp by the norks) series. Most in this genre suck so bad I quit halfway through the first book but I figured I’d give this guy a shot.

Kinda caught in the middle of two that are very interesting.
“Shattered Sword”, about the Battle Of Midway.
“An Army At Dawn”, the first of Richard Atkinson’s trilogy about the US Army’s role in WW2 in Europe and Africa.
To be honest, both of these books have been recommended here on the ‘fire, and I got in a little over my head reading both!
I had been planning on reading the transcripts of the “Reno Court Of Inquiry”, which has long been on my radar, but these two great books have put other stuff on hold for a while.
