Victorian era stories like Argon's "Anthony Carter" series?

Average Geek ๐Ÿšซ

Hello,

Got some travel coming up and I'm trying to fill up the Kindle with some light reading.

I've been recently re-reading Argon's In the Navy series and have been enjoying it a fair bit. I've tried to find similar stories using the category search but haven't got very far.

The "Anthony Carter" series is often recommended on the forum is response to requests for 'stories like..."

You could do a reverse lookup by doing a forum search for "Anthony Carter".

Try these, i like you enjoy historical stories and this is a set of 9 set in the regency period, his other work is damn good an all. https://storiesonline.net/series/1012/poachers-progress

Thanks for the recommendation! Sadly I've read the entire Poachers Progress series.

Since one of his stories in that series is effectively a Western, you could try them. Argon also wrote Constable Hereward and the Popish Maid, that is pre-Revolutionary War.

Lazlong (not Lazlo Zalezac) wrote a three stories about the Wagon Trains west, one of them (Washed Up) was a time-travel story. He's been gone for around 7 years now so his stories are Premier-Only.

Thankfully I've got premier access so that isn't a problem. Pretty sure I've read Washed Up (at least) but will check out the rest.

Without looking, I believe the last one was unfinished. He was working on his computer (April 2006) when he had a heart attack or a stroke. He was then in hospital for - at a guess - a week, by the time he came back his computer had self-destructed and the disk drive was very dead.

Backups? Nope (a few authors lost their work in similar fashions).

He continued writing for just two years after that and he never went back to that story.

You're telling of Lazlong? He was one of the best authors, and that series tops my list to have seen concluded. He mentioned the next story, and it's interesting to hear more of what became of him. Thanks Dinsdale.

He last posted a chapter in May 2008, his last blog entry (the only one remaining) was in October 2009 - https://storiesonline.net/ablog/Lazlong - and he last visited the site as a reader in mid July 2015.
That last detail was in a forum-post by Lazeez several years ago.
I used to exchange emails with Lazlong back in the day and I still have some of them, and remember a few details from some of the ones I deleted.
