Carol S. (anicky) reviewed on 12/22/2008 + 55 more book reviews

In Patrick O'Brian's novel set during the Napoleonic Wars, Jack Aubrey sails around Cape Horn to prevent an American ship from interfering in the British whaling trade, while his sidekick Stephen Maturin calls into play all his intelligence sources. This book is the movie tie in but does not exactly match the movie script as the movie was a compliation of several of O'Brian's novelsas wellasa few twists added by the screenplay writer. It's a wonderful series and this book is a great introduction to the primary characters.
