Russell Crowe is in command of this franchise for Hollywood this holiday season, but fans of history and historical fiction will want to follow the adventures of his literary counterpoint through the extensive series (about twenty novels in all!). O'Brian's attention to nautical detail brings an authentic splash of accuracy to the adventures of Royal Navy Captain Jack Aubrey and his ship's surgeon Stephen Maturin as they battle across the seas during the Napoleonic era. You'll root harder for the good guys than you ever rooted for the most captivating pirates of legend. Ellen wants to add that this series isn't just for guys--her niece Gwen fell in love with the stories when she was about seventeen and has read them all.
