Review:
This segment of the Aubrey saga is set in Malta, where the captain's "small, sweet-sailing frigate" is undergoing repairs. The island, however, is swarming with Napoleonic agents, which means that Stephen Maturin must do everything in his power to avert sabotage. A typical O'Brian cocktail of action and intrigue.
Review:
Splendid adventures...polished, historically accurate, and intensely pleasurable.
I devoured Patrick O Brian s20-volume masterpiece as if it had been so many tots of Jamaica grog. --Christopher Hitchens
Patrick O Brian is unquestionably the Homer ofthe Napoleonic wars. --James Hamilton-Paterson
O Brian s Aubrey-Maturin volumes actuallyconstitute a single 6,443-page novel, one that should have been on those listsof the greatest novels of the 20th century. --George Will
[O Brian s] Aubrey-Maturin series, 20 novels ofthe Royal Navy in the Napoleonic Wars, is a masterpiece. It will outlive mostof today s putative literary gems as Sherlock Holmes has outlivedBulwer-Lytton, as Mark Twain has outlived Charles Reade. --David Mamet
It has been something of a shock to findmyself an inveterate reader of girl books obsessed with Patrick O Brian sNapoleonic-era historical novels. . . . What keeps me hooked are the evolvingrelationships between Jack and Stephen and the women they love. --Tamar Lewin
The Aubrey-Maturin series . . . far beyond anyepisodic chronicle, ebbs and flows with the timeless tide of character and thehuman heart. --Ken Ringle
There is not a writer alive whose work I valueover his. --Stephen Becker
The best historical novels ever written. . . .On every page Mr. O Brian reminds us with subtle artistry of the most importantof all historical lessons: that times change but people don t, that the griefsand follies and victories of the men and women who were here before us are infact the maps of our own lives. --Richard Snow

O Brian 's Aubrey-Maturin volumes actually constitute a single 6,443-page novel, one that should have been on those lists of the greatest novels of the 20th century. --George Will
I fell in love with his writing straightaway, at first with Master and Commander. It wasn t primarily the Nelson and Napoleonic period, more the human relationships. . . . And of course having characters isolated in the middle of the goddamn sea gives more scope. . . . It s about friendship, camaraderie. Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin always remind me a bit of Mick and me. --Keith Richards"

O'Brian's narrative...provides endlessly varying shocks and surprises--comic, grim, farcical and tragic. An essential of the truly gripping book for the narrative addict is the creation of a whole, solidly living world for the imagination to inhabit, and O'Brian does this with prodigal specificity and generosity.--A.
