Member recommendations:

TadAD recommends The man who would be king by Rudyard Kipling, "Not the same plot, not a naval story, not part of a series but, nonetheless, I find something similar about them."

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0006499163, Paperback)

In 1803, Napoleon smashes the Peace of Amiens, and Captain Jack Aubrey, R.N., is interned in France. He escapes from France, from debtor's prison, and from a possible mutiny and pursues his quarry straight into the mouth of a French-held harbor.
