About this product

Product Information

Captain Jack Aubrey, a brilliant and experienced officer, has been struck off the list of post-captains for a crime he did not commit. His old friend Stephen Maturin, usually cast as a ship's surgeon to mask his discreet activities on behalf of British Intelligence, has bought for Aubrey his former ship the Surprise to command as a privateer, more politely termed a letter of marque. Together they sail on a desperate mission against the French, which, if successful, may redeem Aubrey from the private hell of his disgrace.

It wasn't primarily the Nelson and Napoleonic period, more the human relationships. ...And of course having characters isolated in the middle of the goddamn sea gives more scope. ...It's about friendship, camaraderie. Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin always remind me a bit of Mick and me.", The best historical novels ever written'Š On every page Mr. O'Brian reminds us with subtle artistry of the most important of all historical lessons: that times change but people don't, that the griefs and follies and victories of the men and women who were here before us are in fact the maps of our own lives.

Another exciting story from Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey / Maturin collection!
Obviously if you are considering purchasing this book you are a Patrick O'Brian follower and you will not be disappointed in this book. Our unlikely pair of hero's might suffer setbacks and losses in the war against France but persevere to win the day either on land or at sea. This is another exciting tale in this immense series of books that are unlike any others in print. I found it hard to put down and consider it a great story. What more can you want!
