Description
Book SynopsisThe seventeenth novel in the best-selling Aubrey/Maturin series of naval tales, which the
New York Times Book Review has described as "the best historical novels ever written."
Trade Review"I haven’t read novels [in the past ten years] except for all of the Patrick O’Brian series. It was, unfortunately, like tripping on heroin. I started on those books and couldn’t stop." -- E. O. Wilson - Boston Globe
"
The Commodore is so satisfying...because it is crowded with so many different kinds of pleasures. O'Brian's genius is in his ability to arrange all this material upon the well-constructed frame of an adventure plot....A lyric poet working in the epic form." -- John Ferguson - Boston Sunday Globe
