This tale begins with Jack Aubrey arriving home from his exploits in the Mediterranean to find England at peace following the Treaty of Amiens. He and his friend Stephen Maturin, surgeon and secret agent, begin to live the lives of country gentlemen, hunting, entertaining, and enjoying amorous adventures. Their comfortable existence, however, is cut short when Jack is overnight reduced to a pauper with enough debts to keep him in prison for life. He flees to the continent to seek refuge. Instead he finds himself a hunted fugitive as Napoleon has ordered the internment of all Englishmen in France.

Patrick O'Brian is regarded by many as the greatest historical novelist of the 20th century. Post Captain is the second novel in his remarkable Aubrey/Maturin series.

Darn fine stuff this, my only lament is not having been exposed to his books when I was a young lad.

A remarkable tale, written by the great man and perfectly narrated by Ric Jerrom.
I have read the series many times, but really enjoy the story as presented.

Having completed the entire series over a period of 2 years, reliving Post Captain had an almost nostalgic feel. The time spent ashore developing relationships with the ladies had seemed distracting the first time through but now with my fore - knowledge and familiarity with the characters it was far more engaging. Love the battles and the character development in JA and SM.

Even better the second time around.

Read the all books four times and just starting again on the audio for the fifth. Never gets tired.

Fifth Time Just as Good

Fewer battles than the 1st book, more domestic-romantic affairs. Still lots of fun on the high seas, good observations of characters during the chapters on land, and an absolutely brilliant voice performance. This narrator was worth every penny they paid him. Accents, singing, pace, inflection: thos guy does it all perfectly.

A great series to listen to, brilliant performance
