Whether on land or at sea, can Jack Aubrey stay one step ahead of his enemies?
With the Treaty of Amiens, England is at peace. At least for now. . .
Accompanied by his friend, ship’s surgeon and spy Stephen Maturin, Captain Jack Aubrey has returned home to England and the life of a country gentleman. But their comfortable experience is cut short when Jack is made a pauper overnight. He flees to the continent, narrowly escaping debtor’s prison, only to find himself a hunted fugitive from Napoleon’s regime as, yet again, war looms.
‘Outstanding dialogue, characterisation, humour and a golden thread of romance.’ KATIE FFORDE
‘The Aubrey–Maturin novels, by Patrick O’Brian, are so addictive that after I finish one I have to hide the next from myself for a little while in order to do anything else but read.’ LOUISE ERDRICH

Elsker bøkene, men de forkortede lydbøkene yter ikke originalene noen rettferdighet. Storytel burde tilby hele bokserien uten forkortelser.

Pianomusikken mellom kapitlene er forståelig, men begynner å trekke ned etter hvert. Boken bør likevel være glitrende underholdning for dem som likte den første i serien.

Excellent book with good action, a bit shy with personal reflections of the characters, but on the whole a good read
