In the last year I have read all of the major fictional series that occur in the 1770-1820 period of the age of sail. I have enjoyed all of them with their slightly different takes on the period. They include:
The Hornblower Series by C.F. Forester
The Aubrey/Maturin Series by Patrick O'Brian
The Bolitho Series by Alexander Kent
The Lewrie Series by Dewey Lambdin
The Ramage Series by Dudley Pope
and I'm still trying to find the Matty Groves series by Broos Campbell
If I had to nitpick I guess that Lambdin's Alan Lewrie would be my favorite, but not by much. Are there any other series from this period that anyone might recommend and what are your personal favorites.
