   Primo comando di Patrick O'Brian (lorax)

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

2. 122
   Il volo del drago di 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 di 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 di 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).… (altro)

5. 40
   Il drago e il George di Gordon R. Dickson (infiniteletters)
6. 40
   Airborn di Kenneth Oppel (elbakerone)

   elbakerone: Another interesting and well written historical fantasy.

7. 73
   Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell di 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 di Robin McKinley (infiniteletters)
9. 31
   Eon di Alison Goodman (notemily)

   notemily: DRAGONS!

10. 42
    A Natural History of Dragons di Marie Brennan (TomWaitsTables)
11. 10
    Opening Atlantis di Harry Turtledove (PghDragonMan)
12. 10
    Midshipwizard Halcyon Blithe di 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
    Lord of the Changing Winds di Rachel Neumeier (noneofthis)
14. 10
    Cast in Shadow di Michelle Sagara (leahsimone)
15. 22
    Sorcery and Cecelia, or, The Enchanted Chocolate Pot di Patricia C. Wrede (carlyrose)

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

16. 00
    Elephant Company: The Inspiring Story of an Unlikely Hero and the Animals Who Helped Him Save Lives in World War II di 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.

17. 00
    Le rovine di Gorlan di John Flanagan (JessiAdams)

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

18. 00
    The Dragon and the Thief di Gillian Bradshaw (TomWaitsTables)
19. 01
    Dragon Companion di Don Callander (infiniteletters)
20. 12
    The Fire Rose di Mercedes Lackey (FFortuna)
