I knew Caribbean’s Keeper was the first book in the series but I can’t believe that’s the first book you ever wrote. Well done, sir! And Thank you for your service.

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but Indestructible by John Bruning. About Pappy Gunn in WW2.

PBS (yuck) is currently running a 3 episode series about Ernest Hemingway produced by Ken Burns.
Good stuff. Lots of politics that haven't aged well with this guy, but he sure lived an interesting life, and knew how to write about it.
Good primer for those of us who always meant to get around to reading E.H. but needed the extra push.
Ask not for whom your DVR records this, it records for thee.

I just finished book 16. Man, they get better and better! I can’t thank you enough for recommending this series. My wife on the other hand, wants to kick you in the face, because she’s had to pay the bills, cut the grass, and take out the garbage for the last few months....oh and cook dinner too. You’re dead to her. 😅

Two books that will change the way you eat and shop for food for the better:
Big Fat Surprise - A great book very well written and easy to read. Tells the story of how the U.S. got it so wrong regarding food and nutrition.
Deep Nutrition- Very educational and a bit more technical but lots of important information.
I enjoyed both and wish I would have known this information 30 years ago.

I'm intrigued about this series. However I noticed the publication dates don't necessarily follow the timeline of the stories. Would you suggest reading the series in order of the storyline or date of publication?

You'll love it either way. Read it one way and watch his career and the war progress in a linear fashion. Read it the other and you'll see how Cornwell's writing evolved.
Or just in order of what's at the library.
They can all be enjoyed as standalone books.
