About this product
Product Information
Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin tales are widely acknowledged to be the greatest series of historical novels ever written. H.M.S. Surprise follows the variable fortunes of Captain Jack Aubrey's career in Nelson's navy as he attempts to hold his ground against admirals, colleagues and the enemy, accepting a mission to convey a British ambassador to the East Indies. The voyage takes him and his friend Stephen Maturin to the strange sights and smells of the Indian sub-continent, and through the archipelago of spice islands where the French have a near-overwhelming superiority. Rarely has a novel managed to convey more vividly the fragility of a sailing ship in a wild sea. Rarely has a historical novelist combined action and lyricism of style in the way that O' Brian does. His superb sense of place, brilliant characterisation, and a vigour and joy of writing lift O'Brian above any but the most exalted of comparisons.

Arrived quickly. Somewhat creased & thumbed. This 3rd book introduces a charismatic Jewish East India Company magnate. He offers a privateer to the cash-strapped Aubrey and riches in India to Diana. However, Aubrey is given a small naval command for India, where they all meet up again. There are fireworks, both on land and at sea, and Maturin ends up performing a heroic operation on himself, with mirrors.
