Yes, favorite historic novelist for me as well, read every last one of Obrey Maturin series except the last two, which I intend to save for a special vacation, like a long cruise on a sailboat.
Also read the golden golden ocean and the unknown shore, two other nautical historic novel by him.
Find his novels far more sophisticate And uuanced in its portrayal of the human condition and motivation, as well atmospheric in its description of the life at sea, then other maritime fiction authors like C.S.forester. The work of o'brian is to the works of other nautical historic fiction authors I've read is as War and Peace is to DC comic books.
