| | 1. |  | Victory of Eagles (Temeraire, Book 5)
from Del Rey
Price: $16.50
Customer Review:
I wanted to like this book so much. I loved the first three (and most of four); I read the advance chapter and I just about hung over the reserve librarian until my copy showed up.
But after reading VoE, I spent the rest of the weekend in a sizeable depression. Lawrence can't forgive himself,... more info

| | 2. |  | Empire of Ivory (Temeraire, Book 4)
from Del Rey
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
"Empire of Ivory" is an alternate history novel, set in Europe and Asia at the time of the Napoleanic war. This novel continues where "Black Powder War" left off with the (untrue) promise that this novel would focus on T--'s attempts to reform Brittish law concerning dragons. Instead, this novel... more info

| | 4. |  | Master and Commander
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
I have lost count of the number of times I have read and re-read all 20 books in the Aubrey/Maturin canon (about 7000 pages) in recent years. O'Brian is a master storyteller with an unbounded imagination and razor wit. The action is fast paced, and his characters are richly drawn, compelling,... more info

| | 6. |  | Hornblower : Beat to Quarters
from Back Bay Books
Price: $11.19
Customer Review:
Although Midshipman Hornblower describes the beginning of Horatio Hornblower's naval career, Beat to Quarters was the first Hornblower book that Forester wrote. As a result, it stands well on its own, and doesn't require any background provided by the other books in the series. It is also a much... more info

| | 7. |  | Hornblower and the "Hotspur" (Hornblower Series)
from Back Bay Books
Price: $11.19
Customer Review:
Hornblower is one of the very best literary characters ever and all of his stories are compelling with lots of gritty action. The language may be difficult for some as it is archaic and filled with jargon, but it is worth it to take the time and enter into the world of the Royal Navy.

| | 8. |  | Desolation Island (Aubrey Maturin Series)
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
I enjoyed this book. Besides the fact that Napoleonic History is a hobby of mine, I believe that the author truly has put to words what a naval commander must feel while assigned to year long mission. Aubrey is miserable on land and yearns for another command even though that means leaving his wife... more info
