About this listen
Commissioned to rescue Governor Bligh of Bounty fame, Captain Jack Aubrey and his friend and surgeon Stephen Maturin sail the Leopard to Australia with a hold full of convicts. Among them is a beautiful and dangerous spy - and a dangerous disease which decimates the crew.
©1978 The Estate of the late Patrick O'Brian CBE (P)2014 Audible, Inc.This novel has female intrigue and great wildlife scenes in the southern ocean, as well as a ship battle in extreme weather.
It's much easier to follow the technical naval language when told by a professional voice actor than on the printed page.
I look forward to the next voyage of Captain Jack Aubrey.
