Shipwrecked on a remote island in the Dutch East Indies, Captain
Aubrey, surgeon and secret intelligence agent Stephen Maturin, and
the crew of the Diane fashion a schooner from the wreck. A vicious
attack by Malay pirates is repulsed, but the makeshift vessel
burns, and they are truly marooned. Their escape from this
predicament is one that only the whimsy and ingenuity of Patrick
O'Brian-or Stephen Maturin-could devise. In command now of a new
ship, the Nutmeg, Aubrey pursues his interrupted mission. The
dreadful penal colony in New South Wales, harrowingly described, is
the backdrop to a diplomatic crisis provoked by Maturin's Irish
temper, and to a near-fatal encounter with the wildlife of the
Australian outback.
