Seventeen books in the series if I remember correctly. Starts with Master and Commander. I haven't read in a couple of years; when we get moved and unpacked from storage. I'll re-read. Very rich and detailed. You may want a companion book, there are lots of quaint nautical terms. Kelly On Aug 1, 2004, at 5:11 PM, Daniel Ridings wrote: > Adam, > > Give me more ...
