Clever prison escape, fencing, buried treasure, romance, a clever protagonist, memorable characters, page turning plot, and history!
Besides Sabatini, R.L. Stevenson, and Dumas, I need more historical adventure with these qualities. Please.

I’m amazed. Never come across someone familiar with Rafael Sabatini before. Fuckin’ great stories
I mean there are once in a lifetime genre defining kind of novels: Dune, Shogun, Count of Monte Cristo, etc. Shantaram is pretty good, and modern. Scarlett Pimpernel is decent. Lonesome Dove is there if you like Westerns.
