   Capità de mar i de guerra de Patrick O'Brian (lorax)

   lorax: The Napoleonic Wars, just with no dragons. Better-written than Hornblower and with much stronger characterization.

2. 122
   Dragonflight de Anne McCaffrey (justjukka)

   justjukka: Both Novik and McCaffrey take great care in developing the worlds for their respective series. If you like one, you may very well like the other.

3. 92
   Mr. Midshipman Hornblower de C. S. Forester (DWWilkin)

   DWWilkin: If you like the time period, no better way to start then with the first popular series about Age of Sail

4. 71
   Leviathan de Scott Westerfeld (PghDragonMan, Caramellunacy)

   Caramellunacy: Both are alternate history/fantasy novels with a distinct nautical flair. His Majesty's Dragon is set during the Napoleonic Wars - just with dragons (obviously) as a sort of Air Navy - complete with crew. Leviathan is set during an alternate WWI between the Darwinists (who have living ships & weapons) and the Clankers (who use machines).… (més)

   The Dragon and the George de Gordon R. Dickson (infiniteletters)
6. 40
   Airborn de Kenneth Oppel (elbakerone)

   elbakerone: Another interesting and well written historical fantasy.

7. 63
   Jonathan Strange i el senyor Norrell de Susanna Clarke (ErlendSkjelten)

   ErlendSkjelten: Much heavier fare than Temeraire, but all the more enjoyable for it. The Napoleonic wars, with magicians instead of dragons.

8. 30
   Dragonhaven de Robin McKinley (infiniteletters)
9. 31
   Eon: Dragoneye Reborn de Alison Goodman (notemily)

   notemily: DRAGONS!

    Cast in Shadow de Michelle Sagara (leahsimone)
12. 10
    Midshipwizard Halcyon Blithe de James M. Ward (amysisson)

    amysisson: In this case, the dragon *is* the ship, and the main character is younger and less experienced, but otherwise they have a similar feel....

13. 10
    Opening Atlantis de Harry Turtledove (PghDragonMan)
14. 10
    Lord of the Changing Winds de Rachel Neumeier (noneofthis)
15. 00
    Elephant Company: The Inspiring Story of an Unlikely Hero and the Animals Who Helped Him Save Lives in World War II de Vicki Croke (2wonderY)

    2wonderY: This is a real life story of a man whose all encompassing relationship with elephants, one in particular, echo that between Laurence and Temeraire.

16. 22
    Sorcery and Cecelia, or, The Enchanted Chocolate Pot de Patricia C. Wrede (carlyrose)

    carlyrose: A bit lighter and for perhaps a younger audience, but also an alternate history dealing with the Napoleonic Wars.

17. 00
    The Dragon and the Thief de Gillian Bradshaw (TomWaitsTables)
18. 00
    The Ruins of Gorlan de John Flanagan (JessiAdams)

    JessiAdams: Both are light, fast paced adventure stories with smart characters and witty dialogue.
