Dudley Pope, a naval defense correspondent of the London Evening News, progressed to writing carefully researched naval history. C.S. Forester urged Pope to try his hand at fiction and saw the younger writer as his literary heir. Pope began what was to become an impressive series with Ramage (1965) and, over the next 24 years, produced 17 more novels tracing Lord Ramage's career. Pope died in 1997.
"Not even C.S. Forester knows more about the routine and battle procedures of the British Navy in the days of Nelson." —The New York Times
"The first and still favourite rival to Hornblower." —Daily Mirror
