Has anyone here heard of Patrick O'Brian?
I used to believe that no one would write better novels dealing with the Royal Navy of that period than CS Forrester. Now I think no one will ever do better than Patrick O'Brian. A strange man, however, and a shame that he is dead.
O'Brian was very knowledgable on naval and medical history and terminology but, except in those fields, he was not an etymologist.
