Description
The Final Unfinished Voyage of Jack Aubrey by Patrick O'Brian is the final chapter in the acclaimed series. At the time of his death, Patrick O'Brian had begun writing this novel to follow Blue at the Mizzen, the twentieth book in the series. The story picks up from where Jack Aubrey received news of his elevation to flag rank and orders to sail to the South Africa station. These chapters, left unfinished by O'Brian, are presented here both in printed version and a facsimilie of his manuscript. They offer a glimpse into the final voyage of Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin, with their characteristic humour and understanding of their characters. Although we would have liked to see the complete story, this collection provides valuable insight into O'Brian's powers of observation and writing style. The result is a poignant conclusion to the series, with Jack Aubrey sailing through fair days under his 'sacred blue flag'.
