There's always the Sharpe series by Cornwell, unless the patron wants to
stick to seagoing yarns.

While we're on the subject, are there any other series based in the
Napoleonic Wars that cover the land wars? I tried searching Novelist, and
got nowhere.

For the land wars, you could try Patrick Rambaud's The Battle and The
Retreat, as well as Richard Howard's Alain Lausard series. It's a six-book
series that's published in the UK - not always easy to find in American
libraries, but they're listed on Amazon. See this website for details on
titles:

In answer to Kathleen - yes, ooh, yes - there's a
WONderful trilogy about the Russian campaign -
now in its second title - by the French author
Patrick Rambaud. They are 'The Battle' and 'The
Retreat.'

War & Peace is pretty good, too...

For nautical fiction authors and their series:

http://www.tallshipsbooks.com/Authors/default-authors.html

There's also this website:

www.wrl.org/bookweb/booklists/sailing.html

Alexander Kent's (Douglas Reeman) Richard and Adam Bolitho series and Dudley
Pope's Nicholas Ramage series are, for my money, the closest to Aubrey &
Hornblower. I have only read one Thomas Kydd novel by Julian Stockwin , but
it covers the same time period. Dewey Lambdin's Alan Lewrie series also
follows a British naval career. I've also read, and would recommend, the
following:

Captain Kilburnie by William P. Mack

As far as I can tell, this is a stand-alone. All take place during the
Napoleonic Wars, as did Aubrey & Hornblower.

Let me also recommend:

The Hornblower companion : an atlas and personal commentary on the writing
of the Hornblower saga by C.S. Forester

The life and times of Horatio Hornblower by C. Northcote Parkinson (fiction)

Life in Nelson's Navy by Dudley Pope

Jack Aubrey commands: an historical companion to the naval world of Patrick
O'Brian by Brian Lavery (foreword by Peter Weir)

A sea of words : a lexicon and companion for Patrick O'Brian's seafaring
tales by Dean King with John B. Hattendorf and J. Worth Estes

With the exception of the Parkinson book, all of these are non-fiction and
give background to these specific books, or to books about this period in
British naval history.
