I have always been an avid reader and love books with a historical content where fictional characters are woven into fact. Alexander Kent's naval series staged in Napoleonic times featuring the fictional 'Richard Bolitho' a Cornishman who rises from a teenage midshipman to his death with the rank of Admiral over 23 books. The series is currently continuing with Richards's son 'Adam Bolitho' and I consider these books equal, if not superior to anything written by CS Forester or Patrick O Brien.
