Comfy Shoe Huntress I went on a search and purchase mission for my husband for these books, via Amazon Marketplace. I believe I secured all 20 books in this series, with some additional novels by the same author, (Patrick O'Brian.) My spouse has been eating them up, and I am enjoying seeing him actually relax and give himself permission to sit and read. A win all the way. I wonder if many women have read this series Honestly, I don't know.. "If you like Aubrey/Maturin, then clap onto this." according to Scott C.. If you loved the Aubrey/Maturin series, then this book is a must purchase. If you haven't read that series, then this might be a little difficult to jump into. As others have said, the jargon and just general language might be a little hard to digest at first. Based on historical events like much of the later series, this was a joy to read and brought the era to vivid life.
