THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Its a 21 book series and runs from Jack Aubrey's promotion to Master and Commander of the HMS Sophie to his dismissal and reinstatement to the Royal Navy to breaking his flag of the South Africa Squadron. The author very accurately portrays several historic naval battles including the HMS Java vs USS Constitution, The Battle of Cape Santa Maria, and several others. |

I read the first book in the series recently and enjoyed it. Not sure if I liked it enough to read the other 20 books though.

The only thing I dont like about the series (and i have read it through 3 times and started on the 4th) is sometimes the old style English is a bit hard to read and when he has them talking french I have no idea at all.
