I just finished book 9 in this series and continue to enjoy them (I plan on reading all 21). The series revolves around two main characters - Captain Jack Aubrey, an officer in the British Navy, and Stephen Maturin, a naturalist, a surgeon, and an international spy. The richness of the series is the development of these two characters and their comraderie as they work to bring about the downfall of Bonaparte.
They are probably best read in order, although O'Brian writes them so that you could read some as stand alone novels. I think that Treason's Harbor is my favorite of the ones I've read up to this point.
