He is known for the excellent and accurate detail he puts in his descriptions Atlantic Aviator I've become a huge fan of this series by Patrick O'Brian. He is known for the excellent and accurate detail he puts in his descriptions, and the language of the time. I'm on the sixth one and expect to keep going. Aubrey and Maturin and characters are alm.

What I love about Patrick O'Brian's fiction is his command, his understanding of human nature and, more importantly, his ability to capture that understanding in words that very convincingly depict the most essential element a writer can convey - life wit. Just gets better with the years I own all 20 of the Aubrey/Maturin novels, including the incomplete one. Lots of genre fiction I sell to a used bookstore or keep in piles somewhere out of the way; but these books have pride of place on my bookshelf, and I find I reread them every 2 or 3
