Can we have a recommendation thread related to schlocky pulp adventure fiction?
Alistair MacLean, C. S. Forester, Rafael Sabatini, even Robert Howard, nothing after 1970 excepting maybe some Ludlum or Bernard Cornwell type stuff.
Hard mode pre-1900 stuff, best mode """""non-fiction"""" works by British army officers on foreign service.

The finest vintage Rafael Sabatini: Scaramouche (1921), Captain Blood (1922), & The Sea Hawk (1915).
Essential Haggard trilogy.
The Gollancz "black books" back there. Weird fiction and pulp adventure overlap: Howard, Burroughs, Leiber, etc.
