Özet

In The Mauritius Command, Captain Jack Aubrey is ashore on half-pay without a command until his friend, occasional intelligence agent Stephen Maturin, arrives with secret orders for Aubrey to take a frigate to the Cape of Good Hope under a Commodore's pennant. But the difficulties of carrying out his orders are compounded by two of his own captains: one a pleasure-seeking dilettante, the other liable to provoke the crew to mutiny.

Based on an actual campaign of 1810 in the Indian Ocean, O'Brien's attention to the detail of early 19th-century life ashore and at sea is meticulous. This tale is as beautifully written and as gripping as any in the series; it also stands on its own as a superlative work of fiction.

Fear not.

Purchased reluctantly due to reviews suggesting chapter 9 was missing, however Chapter 9 is now present and well.

Jerrom captures spirit of each character so well, whilst avoiding being too comical. Terrific job.

I need not recommend the story itself. These books are without peer.

Chapter 9 fixed. Excellently read.

If you've got to book 4, you probably know the Aubrey-Maturin series and you'll enjoy this as much as any of the others. My only comment concerns Ric Jerrom's reading of it - either I've got used to him or this is the best yet. Or both. Only a lost star for the grisly attempts at McAdam's Northern Irish accent. Otherwise superb.

Wonderful

An outstanding performance of a splendid story, marred only by the strange lack of the second half of chapter 9 because of a technical fault. Very surprised that this has not been remedied by the publisher.

Brilliant story, but you'll need the book too

Vivid, exciting, wise, in places subtly humourous and in places very moving. If you have enjoyed Patrick O'Brian's earlier Aubrey-Maturin books you will enjoy this even more.

A Tour de Force

One of the more compelling character-led.outings for Aubrey and Maturin. The descriptions of life aboard and the difficulties of fighting at sea are impeccably handled -- as usual!

A thoughtful reading of a book a know very well.
