The books are historically accurate and detail British Naval life lovingly. The books are beautifully written, witty and sometimes thrilling in their battle accounts. I feel 7 series of 9 episodes[3 per book roughly] would, given BBC standards and computer animation be a western world hit for decades. The action takes place all over the globe!! </p>
