The 10th installment in the Aubrey/Maturin series

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 and in the far reaches of the pacific: typhoons, castaways, shipwrecks, murder, and criminal insanity.

This is when audiobooks are better. Just as hearing a talented English actor speak Shakespears archaic language makes its meaning much clearer, so too does Simon Vances absolutely perfect rendition of OBrians prose allow the meaning to be effortlessly understood. Therefore, to those who find reading OBrians version of 18th century language to be difficult, I urge you to listen to the audiobook.
