Where I heard about it
- Replies to @moseskagan — named twice in answer to his question “What historical fiction should I read next?” in a thread on X, April 2025: once as “Captain Aubrey books by Patrick O’Brian” and once as “Aubrey-Maturin (Master and Commander).”
- On Patrick Collison’s Bookshelf — Patrick Collison’s catalog of the physical books he owns (unflagged). Saved in Kyle’s April 19th, 2020 Roam daily note.
