"The old master has us again in the palm of his hand."―Los Angeles Times (a Best Book of 1999) Napoleon has been defeated at Waterloo, and the ensuing peace brings with it both the desertion of nearly half of Captain Aubreys crew and the sudden dimming of Aubreys career prospects in a peacetime navy. When the Surprise is nearly sunk on her way to South America―where Aubrey and Stephen Maturin are to help Chile assert her independence from Spain―the delay occasioned by repairs reaps a harvest of strange consequences. The South American expedition is a desperate affair; and in the end Jacks bold initiative to strike at the vastly superior Spanish fleet precipitates a spectacular naval action that will determine both Chiles fate and his own.

ReviewsFilled with exuberance and humor, and a writer's palpable delight at exercising his finest muscles. . . . At sea with a master., I haven't read novels [in the past ten years] except for all of the Patrick O'Brian series. It was, unfortunately, like tripping on heroin. I started on those books and couldn't stop.
