About this listen

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.

Great to be back at sea.

All the best elements of an Aubrey Matutin tale: naval action, intrigue ashore, romance and an entirely satisfying ending. As always, delightfully rendered by Mr. Jerom.

Best one in a while

This is a return to the storytelling at the first of this series - exciting battles that keep you listening and wanting more. Lucky Jack is back and I have to say after listening to more than half of the full series now that this ranks in the top three! Outstanding. Now onto the second half of this remarkable series and I can only hope they match this novel for its excitement.
