About this listen

At the opening of a voyage filled with disaster and delight, Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin are in pursuit of a privateer sailing under American colours through the Great South Sea. Stephen's objective is to set the revolutionary tinder of South America ablaze to relieve the pressure on the British government which has blundered into war with the young and uncomfortably vigorous United States. The shock and barbarity of hand-to-hand fighting are sharpened by O'Brian's exact sense of period, his eye for landscape and his feel for a ship under sail.

Another great entry into the Master and Commander series. A novel which brings to an end the great journey to the far side of the world which has covered the last 4 books and brings a complete new set of challenges to our favourite nautical heroes. 'Huzzah'!!
