DESCRIPTION

Book 3 in the Aubrey/Maturin series

Third in the series of Aubrey-Maturin adventures, this book is set among the strange sights and smells of the Indian subcontinent and in the distant waters ploughed by the ships of the East India Company. Aubrey is on the defensive, pitting wits and seamanship against an enemy enjoying overwhelming local superiority. But somewhere in the Indian Ocean lies the prize that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams: the ships sent by Napoleon to attack the China Fleet.



REVIEWS

“Few, very few, books have made my heart thud with excitement. H.M.S. Surprise managed it….Patrick O’Brian’s erudition is phenomenal, as is his capacity for creating another completely believable world. He convinces with his total accuracy even in tiny details.”—Irish Press

“O’Brian is astonishingly good.”—Times (London)

“The best historical novels ever written.” —New York Times Book Review



PATRICK O'BRIAN (1914–2000) was born Richard Patrick Russ in England. During the Second World War, he and his wife were involved in British secret-service activities. After the war, he changed his name to Patrick O’Brian and began his career as a novelist, biographer, and translator. In the 1990s, Mr. O’Brian, then in his seventies, achieved the critical and popular recognition that was his due.
