Patrick O'Brian ebooks?
Hi there, does anyone know who might supply Patrick O'Brian's fabulous Aubrey-Maturin historical novels on ebook?
I'm looking for a reputable supplier and am working my way thru' hard copy no. 2 from the library but like to buy all 21 in the set as ebooks. The first book, "Master & Commander" had me hooked, and as I have sworn off buying anymore hard copies (now I have my CyBook), I contacted the publisher (Harper Collins, London) & Amazon (UK) but no joy so far. Thanks, Heather[/FONT] |

In the meantime you can read David Drake's take on the same theme (Rebublic of Cinnabar Navy Series). Some say David Weber's Honor Harrington series has some similarities as well.

None yet at Amazon. I've requested the first few volumes. Perhaps if more of us will do that, we can get them e-published. The Sharpe books by Bernard Cornwell (same Napoleonic period but on land) are out for the Kindle at reasonable prices.

Thank you Marysart. Unfortunatley this site only supplied audio books. I have emailed them to ask if they know of anyone who does supply ebooks. Regards, Heather
