Jack Aubrey returns from his duties protecting whalers off South America and is persuaded by a casual acquaintance to make investments in the City on the strength of supposedly certain information. This innocent decision ensnares him in the London criminal underground and in government espionage - the province of his friend Stephen Maturin. Is Aubrey's humiliation and the threatened ruin of his career a deliberate plot?

Continuing the story, these books are fantastic. Of the time, friendship, duty and of course the storytelling is magnificent.

Super story, nothing seems repetitive or unrealistic and if you want the best insights into all the books I highly recommend the ‘lubbers hole’ podcast. This breaks down each chapter and I have nothing to do with it, I’m just a massive fan and listen to a chapter then the podcast and get so much out of it. Enjoy

Excellent next chapter of these great books
