Ardent, gregarious British naval officer Jack Aubrey is elated to
be given his first appointment as commander: the fourteen-gun ship
HMS Sophie. Meanwhile-after a heated first encounter that nearly
comes to a duel-Aubrey and a brilliant but down-on-his-luck
physician, Stephen Maturin, strike up an unlikely rapport. On a
whim, Aubrey invites Maturin to join his crew as the Sophie's
surgeon. And so begins the legendary friendship that anchors this
beloved saga set against the thrilling backdrop of the Napoleonic
Wars. Through every ensuing adventure on which Aubrey and Maturin
embark, from the witty parley of their lovers and enemies to the
roar of broadsides as great ships close in battle around them,
O'Brian "provides endlessly varying shocks and surprises-comic,
grim, farcical and tragic.... [A] whole, solidly living world for
the imagination to inhabit" (A. S. Byatt).
