Title: Seafaring series
Post by prouboy on Jun 25^th, 2011 at 7:23pm

The only "good" thing about being laid up for 2 months is I can get lost in Alexander Kent's, "The Bolitho Series" Historical fiction, 25 book series about the adventures of a midshipman in the British navy in the 1700's.

A great read. Should get me through the summer, sitting on my butt with my foot in the air.

Thanks. I'm a huge fan of Bernard Cornwell. I'll look into your other author recommendation.

I should have mention Jeffrey Shaara, he is also an excellent historical fiction writer... I think if you plow through all those authors plus your original 25 books, your probably going to be pushing 50 books.
