Trade Review
"One does not get many pages into the Aubrey-Maturin sequence before falling under the spell of O’Brian’s prose, which is coiling and uncoiling, spare, elegantly paced, quietly witty." -- Katherine A. Powers - Atlantic Monthly
"Although O’Brian is ingenious at devising new adventures, it is the richness of his characters which justifies his reader’s continuing enthusiasm. . . . O’Brian acknowledges Jane Austen as one of his inspirations, and she need not be ashamed of the affiliation." -- The New Yorker
