Richard Delancey

Richard Delancey is the hero of a series of novels by historian C. Northcote Parkinson.[1] Delancey is a citizen of the Island of Guernsey who rises, through merit, through the Royal Navy, during its late 18th-century wars with America and France.

According to Charles K. Rowley, during his retirement, in Guernsey, Parkinson lived on a street named after Richard Delancey, a military officer who served under the 1st Duke of Wellington, and who died during the Battle of Waterloo.[1]

James A. Winnefeld, writing in the Naval War College Review, wrote that Parkinson had "the naval historian's eye and ear for time and place".[2] However, he said his characters were "wooden".

Without delay, Parkinson transposed a fictional Richard Delancey from the British Army to the Royal Navy and wrote, as the Richard Delancey Series, a sextet of dashing nautical adventures, set in the period of the Napoleonic Wars, during which Richard Delancey progressed from midshipman to Admiral (Parkinson, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1978, 1981 and 1982). This series also achieved best-seller status.

The last serialist of my list is C. Northcote Parkinson, whose hero is Richard Delancey. Parkinson has the naval historian's eye and ear for time and place, but his characters are wooden and his action often contrived.
