#11 in this sea story of Capt Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin.
You should read all 20 of these books as one continuous novel -- I think you would miss out on a lot if you read them out of order.
This book is very Maturin centric, not a lot of Aubrey's heroics, but a lot of his naivete.
I felt the story line was sort of a mishmash of things. All written well, but all sort of inconclusive and not motivating.
Still a good book, just not as good as some of the others.
