I started reading P. O'Brien years ago. His ability to match the technical details of seafaring in the age of Nelson with good story telling and memorable characters is absolutely the best. I can still re-call facts about shipping and hull construction that amaze even myself; thats how deeply he explained everything. And the medical portion with Maturin? great stuff.
