Description
Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin, veterans of many battles, return in this novel to the seas where they first sailed as shipmates. But Jack is now a senior Captain commanding a line-of-battle ship sent out to reinforce a squadron blockading Toulon, and this is a longer , harder, colder war than the dashing frigate actions of his early days. A sudden turn of events takes him and Stephen off on a hazardous mission to the Greek islands. The book ends with as fierce and thrilling an action as any in this magnificent series of novels. PB. 300pp.
