Looking for recommendations for some well-written historical fiction (my favorite genre). I especially like those with a nautical theme. To return the favor, here are a few that I particularly enjoyed:
The "Master and Commander" series
The "Hornblower" series
Conn Iggulden's Julius Caesar series
Bernard Cornwell's "King Arthur" and "Grail Quest" series. I found the King Arthur series a particularly interesting take on that legend.
Robert Parker's "Appaloosa" series (not particularly a fan of westerns, but I enjoyed these and am currently reading my second Elmore Leonard western).
The "Game of Thrones" and "Lord of the Rings" series. I know, not "historical fiction," but they read like it and I enjoyed them.
I'm not particularly looking for "series;" these are just the books that come to mind right now.
