Stephen Maturin has fish of his own to fry in the world of secret intelligence. Disaster in various guises awaits them in the Great South Sea & in the far reaches of the Pacific: typhoons, castaways, shipwrecks, murder, & criminal insanity. * HIGHEST PRAISE for PATRICK O'BRIAN: "Taken together, the novels are a brilliant achievement. They display staggering erudition on almost all aspects of early 19th-ventury life, w/ impeccable period detail. [Compared to Forester's characters] Aubrey & Maturin are subtler, richer items; in addition Patrick O'Brian has a gift for the comic which Forester lacks." -T.J. Binyon, TLS "O'Brian is astonishingly good." -The Times, London. "The best historical novels ever written." -Richard Snow, NYT. "Aubrey & Maturin compose one of those complex & fascinating pairs of characters which have inspired thrilling stories of all kinds since the 'Iliad'." -John Bayley & Iris Murdoch. "O'Brian's sheer brilliance as a writer constantly dazzles & his power over the reader is unique. He is the master." -Kevin Myers, Irish Press * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: In addition to 21 volumes in the highly acclaimed Abrey-Maturin series, PATRICK O'BRIAN 's many novels include "Testimonies", "The Golden Ocean" & "The Unknown Shore". O'Brian also wrote acclaimed biographies of Pablo Picasso & Sir Joseph Banks & translated many works from the French, among them the novels & memoirs of Simone de Beauvoir & Jean Lacouture's biography of Charles DeGaulle. For many years he & his wife made their home in the south of France. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & to international destinations via efficient USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL at our posted rates.
