Sharpe

[DWFII]

I've read all the Sharpe books plus some of Cornwell's others. He's a good writer and I like his stuff although I have caught him out in a few anachronisms...especially as it relates to footwear..

If you like Forester, you would really enjoy Patrick O'Brian's Jack Aubrey series. There's 20 books in the series...each one much more detailed, serious, and wonderful than anything else I've read in that genre. When you hit 20 you wish there were 20 more. All of them set during the very late 18th and early 19th century.

You might also like the Bolitho series by Alexander Kent.

And for a tounge-in-cheek look at Victorian history, check out George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman series!

If you like Forester, you would really enjoy Patrick O'Brian's Jack Aubrey series.

Hear, Hear!! To me, the most notable thing about O'Brian's work is how even the minor characters change and grow over the series. And the humor, which is brilliant.
