Beschreibung

Ordered home by despatch vessel, Captain Jack Aubrey and ship's surgeon Stephen Maturin have been tasked with bringing the news of the latest victory in the war with America back to the government in Britain. But Maturin is a marked man for the havoc he has wrought upon the French intelligence network in the New World, and the attentions of two privateers who pursue their ship soon become menacing.

In this man's world of seamanship and war, will a dangerous but fascinating woman redress the balance?

'I have no particular interest in the sailing or fighting of square-rigged ships, but I've never been so attached to any fictional characters in my life.'
MAILE MELOY

'A swelling tide of intrigue and adventure in the best tradition.'
Guardian

Zusammenfassung

Patrick O'Brian was born in 1914 and published his first book, Caesar, when he was only fifteen. In the 1960s he began work on the idea that, over the next four decades, evolved into the twenty-novel long Aubrey-Maturin series (with an extra unfinished volume published posthumously). In 1995 he was awarded the CBE, and in 1997 he received an honorary doctorate of letters from Trinity College, Dublin. He died in January 2000 at the age of 85.

/ Patrick O'Brian stammt aus einer englisch-irischen Familie. 1969 begann er seine Seefahrerromane über Jack Aubrey und Dr. Stephen Maturin zu schreiben. Sie wurden international schnell zum Inbegriff spannender historischer Unterhaltung, und Millionen nicht nur maritim interessierter Leser warten gespannt auf den jeweils nächsten Roman. Durch seinen Tod im Januar 2000 verlor England den anerkanntesten Autor im Genre maritime Literatur.
