Imprint: W. W. Norton & Company, 1999 Aubrey/Maturin Series; 1.1 x 8.3 x 5.4 Inches; 261 pages; The excitement of the Aubrey/Maturin series soars to new heights in this volume, as Jack, again the daring frigate commander of old, stakes all on a desperate solo night raid against the might of the Spanish viceroy in Peru. Napoleon has been defeated at Waterloo, and the ensuing peace takes on an ugly complexion for Captain Jack Aubrey: drunken, violent celebrations of the English sailors in Gibraltar; the desertion of nearly half his crew; and the sudden dimming of his own career prospects in a peacetime navy. To cap it all off, the Surprise is nearly sunk in a shattering night collision on the first leg of her journey to South America, where Jack and Stephen are to help Chile assert her independence from Spain. The delay occasioned by repairs reaps a harvest of strange consequences. The widowed Stephen Maturin experiences a startling emotional rebirth, and an amorous adventure in a mangrove swamp with the beautiful and accomplished naturalist Christine Wood leads to a proposal of marriage. Jack, meanwhile, is persuaded to accept as a midshipman the bastard of the Duke of Clarence (later King William IV). Young Horatio Hanson--officially unacknowledged, but clearly his father's favorite--is one of O'Brian's most engaging characters, and the distinction he earns in the coming campaign will have important repercussions on Jack's fortunes. The South American expedition is a desperate affair, starting with near disaster in the ice-choked seas far south of the Horn, and further marred by bitter divisions in the Chilean naval command. In the end it is Jack's bold initiative to strike at the vastly superior Spanish fleet that precipitates the spectacular naval action that will determine both Chile's fate and his own., Very Good in Very Good dust jacket Stock number: 89699.

Imprint: London, HarperCollins, 1999 The title of this book, which seems to dance in the breeze, intimates that Jack Aubrey, lucky Jack Aubrey, is going to win the prize on which he has long set his heart. For once at the outset of the story he is neither financially embarrassed nor under some unmerited professional cloud. But time is gaining on him. His spirits, his energy, his zest for life and its pleasures are not what they were. He has reached the top of the Captain's list and the odds against his promotion to flag rank are lengthening. On the other hand, his old shipmate Stephen Maturin has lost none of his spark. Recovering from the loss of his wife, he finds passion for natural history happily combines with a tenderer emotion. And in the revolutionary politics of South America, whither the Surprise is bound, his expertise in intelligence work is indispensable.262p.. Book. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hardcover.

Imprint: HarperCollins, 2003 Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin tales are widely acknowledged to be the gr eatest series of historical novels ever written. To commemorate the 40th an niversary of their beginning, with Master and Commander, these evocative st ories are being re-issued in paperback with smart new livery. This is the t wentieth book in the series. 'If we had only two or three of Patrick O'Bria n's Aubrey-Maturin series, we would count ourselves lucky; with six or seve n the author would be safely among the greats of historical fiction... This is great writing by an undiminished talent. Now on to Volume Twenty, and t he liberation of Chile.' WILLIAM WALDEGRAVE, Literary Review This is the tw entieth book in Patrick O'Brian's highly acclaimed, bestselling series chro nicling the adventures of lucky Jack Aubrey and his best friend Stephen Mat urin, part ship's doctor, part secret agent. The novel's stirring action fo llows on from that of The Hundred Days. Napoleon's hundred days of freedom and his renewed threat to Europe have ended at Waterloo and Aubrey has fina lly, as the title suggests, become a blue level admiral. He and Maturin hav e - at last - set sail on their much postponed mission to Chile. Vivid with the salty tang of life at sea, O'Brian's writing is as powerful as ever wh ether he writes of naval hierarchies, night-actions or the most celebrated fictional friendship since that of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. Blue at t he Mizzen also brings alive the sights and sounds of revolutionary South Am erica in a story as exciting as any O'Brian has written., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000039704.
