Reviews
Taken as a whole, the Aubrey-Maturin novels are by a long shot the best things of their kind...they are uniquely excellent., I prefer the Aubrey-Maturin series to all others, even Holmes-Watson. Every book is packed to absolute straining with erudition, wit, history, and thunderous action., If Jane Austen had written rousing sea yarns, she would have produced something very close to the prose of Patrick O'Brian., [The series shows] a joy in language that jumps from every page...you're in for a wonderful voyage., There are two types of people in the world: Patrick O'Brian fans, and people who haven't read him yet., One does not get many pages into the Aubrey-Maturin sequence before falling under the spell of O'Brian's prose, which is...elegantly paced, quietly witty., My hero is Patrick O'Brian...I read all of his books many, many times. I've read them so many times I can't read them anymore because eventually you know the whole book by heart., Certain authors we read because they enlarge us, because they offer experience, wisdom, beauty of language, a sense of fate and the only defense, a sense of humor...To compare Patrick O'Brian with 'writers of sea stories' is to compare Proust to the ?Orchard Fancier's Quarterly'. O'Brian is literature. I am one of your surly pragmatical polyglot landlubbers, and I read him and reread him with awe and gratitude. His Aubrey-Maturin volumes are in effect one great book, and if I could keep only a half a dozen contemporary writers, O'Brian would be one of them.

Synopsis
The beginning of the sweeping Aubrey-Maturin series. "The best sea story I have ever read."--Sir Francis Chichester, This, the first in the splendid series of Jack Aubrey novels, establishes the friendship between Captain Aubrey, R.N., and Stephen Maturin, ship's surgeon and intelligence agent, against a thrilling backdrop of the Napoleonic wars. Details of a life aboard a man-of-war in Nelson's navy are faultlessly rendered: the conversational idiom of the officers in the ward room and the men on the lower deck, the food, the floggings, the mysteries of the wind and the rigging, and the roar of broadsides as the great ships close in battle.
