Book Synopsis
"A marvelously full-flavored, engrossing book, which towers over its current rivals in the genre like a three-decker over a ship's longboat." —Times Literary Supplement

Trade Review
"The Aubrey-Maturin novels are by a long shot the best things of their kind…they are uniquely excellent." -- Terry Teachout - New York Times Book Review
"I fell in love with [O’Brian’s] writing straightaway…It’s about friendship, camaraderie. Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin always remind me a bit of Mick and me." -- Keith Richards
"No one else writing in the genre today can match [O’Brian’s] erudition, humour, inventiveness and flair." -- Kevin Myers - Irish Independent
