“The 18th Aubrey/Maturin novel. Back in home waters, Aubrey faces troubles on the domestic front, with marital discord and a conflict with his Admiral over a land-enclosure bill. Worse still, the war with France looks like coming to an end, with disastrous consequences for naval officers.

I liked this one too, despite the domestic setting. Feel a little melancholy that there are only two full books remaining in the series though.”“(book 18 of a 21-book series, published 1996):

6980 pages of pure joy - culturally & linguistically immersive historical literature, set on the sea of the Napoleonic Wars. Ah, so captivating, I sincerely miss plunging from one book to the next now that they're complete. Yes, this was an adventure my Mom started me on, buying one of the first books as a present based on a review she read. The language, the leadership, the relations, the sea, rich with characters one learns to love. I'll look back with fondness on my 21 weeks of sailing with O'Brian across his inspired imagination.”
“Not the best of the Aubrey-Maturin novels, but a good addition to the series. Fans won't be disappointed, and let's face it, if you're reading #18 in a series, you're a fan whether you admit it or not.”
