Description

Set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, this gripping novel follows Captain Jack Aubrey as he navigates the challenges of commanding a frigate in the Indian Ocean. With his friend and occasional intelligence agent Stephen Maturin by his side, Aubrey must contend with two demanding captains - Lord Clonfert and Captain Corbett - while carrying out a secret mission.

Based on the actual campaign of 1810, Patrick O'Brian's meticulous attention to detail brings eighteenth-century life ashore and at sea vividly to life. This beautifully written tale is as gripping as any in the series, standing on its own as a superlative work of fiction that will appeal to fans of historical novels.
