Thanks for plug, you're a hero.

Incidently, as he was mentioned. Sabatini's books are brought up in the first chapter of The Dumas Club. For what it's worth: Balkan thinks Scaramouche is the best, while Corso prefers Captain Blood. If you want to know any more, you'll have to read the book.

Heh. Despite mentioning those two on my list (because I own copies, and am currently re-reading them) I'd say The Black Swan is close to being my personal favorite. There was also a Tyrone Powers adaptation of this in Hollywood, but they largely ignored the novel's plot. The film version of The Sea Hawks is also awesome, although I've not read that book, and I understand the story is substantially changed as well.

The Perfect Heresy by Stephen O'Shea --- on the causes, events, and repurcussions of the Albigensi crusade. Lots of killings, plus great papal quotes.

The Monks of War by Desmond Seward --- on the Medieval fighting orders.
