I love Aubrey and Maturin! - Rated 5/5
Help! I need a dictionary of 19th century naval terms...
I am on number eight now in this series and am still having difficulty in following some parts due to ignorance. But I haven't been put off by this. The richness of description and the sincerity with which the characters is drawn is making a slow journey through the careers of Jack Aubrey and Steven Maturin an absolute delight. The essays by notable experts at the end of each novel is of great help too, and certainly my sketchy knowledge of the history of the period has been embellished.
Love it.


Slow start, cracking ending. - Rated 5/5
The book has a slow start but progressively gets more interesting and faster paced. The last 100 pages are absolutely brilliant - as good as you'll find anywhere.

Superb book!


A good continuation of the series, but not O'Brian's best - Rated 4/5
The book's heroes, Aubrey & Maturin, are a little jaded in this Mediterranean episode of the Napoleonic naval wars, and so is the plot. Two or three times we are promised action, but it comes to nothing. I never became as engaged as in previous episodes. The final action, when it comes, is exciting, but cursory and unsatisfying. The interplay between the main characters had a feeling of going through the motions. Nevertheless, even when O'Brian is not at his best, he still produces an enjoyable, well written and thoroughly believable novel that is a pleasure to read.
