The article mentions the Aubreyad as being a 20 book series. With the recent publication of the first three chapters of the unfinished 21st novel, how should we approach this? Call it a 21 book series? A 20.1 book series? Skyring 02:43, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC) There are 20 finished books, so it's a 20-book series.

Ye gods, what a horrible word that is!

Paul Tracy

Common usage in The Gunroom, as is "the canon". Both are fairly basic plays on words, rather appropriate given the subject. Skyring 17:46, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Richard Temple

I added Richard Temple to the bibliography. It's not very well known, but is for real (and worth a read too if you can find it! Try inter-library loans).

Hope that's OK. Monkey Tennis 21:54, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Richard Temple & The Catalans

Both books have just been republished in the UK by HarperCollins.

[edit] "Literary Career"

This section says almost nothing about the Aubrey-Maturin series, only about its predecessors and the film adaptation. I can't really fix this, but it's...a problem.--P4k 21:34, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] he died where?

The infobox states Ireland but the biography implies France? 222.154.245.43 (talk) 01:17, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

He died in Ireland but is buried near his home in France with his wife who predeceased him. Dabbler (talk) 02:15, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

A new link has been added that shows where he is buried and where he lived in Collioure, France. Plsl82 (talk) 02:04, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
