"Every [Aubrey-Maturin] book is packed to absolute straining with erudition, wit, history, and thunderous action." âJoe Hill
Stranded in Malta, Captain Jack Aubrey and surgeon Stephen Maturin must be careful, for the salons and dockyards are infested with Napoleonâs spies, and there is a traitor in the British intelligence network. This installment of Patrick OâBrianâs â20-volume masterpieceâ (Christopher Hitchens) takes Aubrey and Maturin sailing on the pirate-plagued waters of the Red Sea, trudging over the Sinai Peninsula and even the depths of the sea floor in their efforts to stay one step ahead of the treachery afoot.
