His old friend Stephen Maturin, usually cast as a ship's surgeon to mask his discreet activities on behalf of British Intelligence, has bought for Aubrey his former ship the Surprise to command as a privateer, more politely termed a letter of marque. Together they sail on a desperate mission against the French, which, if successful, may redeem Aubrey from the private hell of his disgrace. * HIGHEST PRAISE for PATRICK O'BRIAN: "Taken together, the novels are a brilliant achievement. They display staggering erudition on almost all aspects of early 19th-ventury life, w/ impeccable period detail. [Compared to Forester's characters] Aubrey & Maturin are subtler, richer items; in addition Patrick O'Brian has a gift for the comic which Forester lacks." -T.J. Binyon, TLS "O'Brian is astonishingly good." -The Times, London. "The best historical novels ever written." -Richard Snow, NYT. "Aubrey & Maturin compose one of those complex & fascinating pairs of characters which have inspired thrilling stories of all kinds since the 'Iliad'." -John Bayley & Iris Murdoch. "O'Brian's sheer brilliance as a writer constantly dazzles & his power over the reader is unique. He is the master." -Kevin Myers, Irish Press * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: In addition to 21 volumes in the highly acclaimed Abrey-Maturin series, PATRICK O'BRIAN 's many novels include "Testimonies", "The Golden Ocean" & "The Unknown Shore". O'Brian also wrote acclaimed biographies of Pablo Picasso & Sir Joseph Banks & translated many works from the French, among them the novels & memoirs of Simone de Beauvoir & Jean Lacouture's biography of Charles DeGaulle. For many years he & his wife made their home in the south of France. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & to international destinations via efficient USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL at our posted rates.

For Conradian power of description & sheer excitement there is nothing in naval fiction to beat the stern chase as the out-gunned Leopard staggers through mountain waves in icy latitudes to escape the Dutch seventy-four." -Stephen Vaughan, Observer. Commissioned to rescue Governor Bligh of Bounty fame, Captain Jack Aubrey & his friend & surgeon Stephen Maturin sail the Leopard to Australia w/ a hold full of convicts. Among them is a beautiful & dangerous spy, & a treacherous disease that decimates the crew. W/ a Dutch man-of-war to windward, the undermanned, out-gunned Leopard sails for her life into the freezing waters of the Antarctic, where, in mountain seas, the Dutchman closes. Here the ingredients of a powerful & dramatic novel are heightened by descriptive writing of rare quality. Nowhere in contemporary prose has the majesty & terror of the sea been more effectively rendered than in the thrilling chase through an antarctic storm in which Jack's ship, outmanned & outgunned, is the quarry not the hunter. * HIGHEST PRAISE FOR PATRICK O'BRIAN: "Taken together, the novels are a brilliant achievement. They display staggering erudition on almost all aspects of early 19th-ventury life, w/ impeccable period detail. [Compared to Forester's characters] Aubrey & Maturin are subtler, richer items; in addition Patrick O'Brian has a gift for the comic which Forester lacks." -T.J.

Bloody actions precipitate them both into new & unexpected scenes where Stephen's past activities as a secret agent return on him with a vengeance. * HIGHEST PRAISE for THE FORTUNE of WAR: "'The Fortune of War' is a marvelously full-flavored, engrossing book, which towers over its current rivals in the genre like a 3-decker over a ship's longboat." -T.J.
