The Aubrey-Maturin Series is just greatness. Each volume continues from the last yet possesses its own distinct narrative. The Letter of Marque is perfect historical fiction that simply transports you to another era in such convincing terms. This is number 12 in the 20 volume series so I have a ways to go although I’ve picked up the pace in recent years. I already have the next two in the series on my nightstand. But I like to allow each one to breathe a bit before starting back in. I started in 2003, so it’s been a fun ride.
