Summary
Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin are ordered home by despatch vessel to bring the news of their latest victory to the government. But Maturin is a marked man for the havoc he has wrought in the French intelligence network in the New World, and the attentions of two privateers soon become menacing. The chase that follows through the fogs and shallows of the Grand Banks is as thrilling, as tense, and as unexpected in its culmination as anything Patrick O'Brian has written.
Then, among other things, follows a shipwreck and a particularly sinister internment in the notorious Temple Prison in Paris. Once again, the tigerish and fascinating Diana Villiers redresses the balance in this man's world of seamanship and war.

Love this series
Firstly Ric Jerrom has done for this series what Andy Serkis did for The Lord of the Rings audible series. He has breathed life into the characters and passion into every scene. Amazing narration. I have never gotten 7 books into any series which shows just how addictive O'brian's writing is.

A compelling and informative yarn
OBrien shows off his elephantine nautical and ornithological mastery whilst forming the tasserai of a plot into a masterpiece....much of it!

Everything about this naval series stands out. Absolutely amazing and highly recommended.
If you think Hornblower is good, then acquaint yourself with this incredible author. It’s more highbrow than C.S. Forresters naval series, but the characters have more depth, the Napoleonic and 18th century naval knowledge seen within is staggering, the battles epic and the humour, when it occurs, is on point.

A very creditable incursion to Napoleonic France - Maturin to the fore again, showing OBrian's versatility and imagination
