Peter Argonis "Anthony Carter" universe.

And of course, I'd hire the talent. This material needs proper care.

I actually think there could be a market for this kind of stuff. "Master and Commander" was a wonderful movie, and if it had not been drowned out by the third "Lord of the Rings" movie, it could have been turned into a good-running movie series.

Peter Argonis works in the same genre "Dashing Hero Captain in the Age of Sail", and IMHO he is better than Patrick O'Brian (of "Master and Commander").
