Description
The Hundred Days by Patrick O'Brian Following the success of The Yellow Admiral, this latest novel in the Aubrey-Maturin series brings the sights and sounds of North Africa to life, as well as the great naval battles in the days immediately following Napoleon's escape from Elba. Aubrey and Maturin are at the heart of the plots and counterplots to prevent his regaining power. Coloured by conspiracies in the Adriatic, in the Berber and Arab lands of the southern shores of the Mediterranean, by night actions, fierce pursuits, slave-trading and lion hunts, The Hundred Days is a masterpiece of historical fiction. With superb plotting and gripping incident, this novel is a worthwhile read for fans of the series and newcomers alike. A superbly crafted naval adventure, The Hundred Days showcases Patrick O'Brian's brilliant storytelling and entertaining style, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the Napoleonic era.
