C. S. Forester’s Novels of Vocation
“In the midst of his tension-filled mission and outbreaks of combat, Commander George Krause prays, reads his Bible, and employs Luther’s devotions. As we go inside his mind and point of view, we find that Scripture verses are always popping up in his head, and that he is constantly struggling with the sense of his sinfulness and his limits over against his faith.” - Veith

I read about half of these until the adultery angle with Hornblower became really prominent. I really enjoy seafaring novels as well but there are others (Sailing Alone Around the World, Two Years Before the Mast, The Sea Wolf, Typhoon) that are also well-written yet glorify sin less.
