Patrick O'Brian's series of novels about an 18th century English naval captain, Jack Aubrey, and his good friend, a surgeon and naturalist, Stephen Maturin. The movie with Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany came out last December...it didnt get much publicity because it was eclipsed by LOTR:ROTK. Teh books themselves are far more comprehensive than the movie, and enjoyable reading.
