Patrick O'Brian came from an English-Irish family. In 1969, he began writing his seafaring novels about Jack Aubrey and Dr. Stephen Maturin. They quickly became an international classic of thrilling historical fiction, and millions of readers, not just those with a maritime interest, eagerly await each new novel. With his death in January 2000, England lost its most acclaimed author in the genre of maritime literature.
