Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin are ordered home by dispatch 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 attention of two privateers soon becomes menacing. The chase that follows through the fogs and shallows of the Grand Banks is as tense, and as unexpected in its culmination, as anything Patrick O'Brian has written.Point Books To The Surgeon's Mate (Aubrey & Maturin #7)

it was very difficult to choose a star rating for this installment of the aubrey/maturin series. on the one hand, i can't stand diana and she was all over this in every worst way. on the other hand, once we got rid of her, there were some genuinely interesting moments ~ particularly an escape plot from a fortress which provided some solidly hilarious exchanges (reminding me why this series is fun!). in the end i had to give it only two stars because it's about 150 pages too long and Lt.

Patrick O'Brian back to his very best in this seventh Aubrey-Maturin novel.Such a good writer of English, as well-as a master story-teller, and a good expression of characters and their development through time.The GR blurb mentions only a little of the incidents and adventures, from the Atlantic to the Baltic, to inland France, and back to the home fleet where there are a couple of key developments:'Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin are ordered home by dispatch vessel to bring the news of their
Lovesick leads have never interested me. The Baltic action is truncated. The Catalan subplot aborted. And the imprisonment in France is resolved far to ex machina for enjoyment.
This is now my third time reading through this brilliant series and I am reminded again how beautifully written and how wonderfully, addictively enjoyable they are.In The Surgeon's Mate, Jack's affairs ashore are in a tangle (to say the least) and Stephen helps both practically and by requesting that Jack be the captain commanding a tricky intelligence mission in the Baltic. The subsequent action and thoughtful developments are, as always, thrilling and engrossing. Patrick O'Brian is steeped in
My annual visit to the adventures of Jack and Stephen.I know what to expect - long chapters, impenetrable text. For historical novels, it very much into the detail (life at sea, the speech patterns) and gives next to nothing away about the wider historical context of the countries at war. Of course, the joke about the lesser of two weevils will be wheeled out for guffaws.We have an escape from the Americas, some domesticity, more sea battles in the Nordics and an Parisian imprisonment. And two
Another exceptional instalment in the series... Nothing more to say!
