 The year is 1803, and that scalliwag Napoleon Bonaparte has gone to  war again. For Captain Jack Aubrey, who has fled to France to escape his  creditors, this is doubly alarming news. In short order the captain is interned,  makes his escape across the French countryside, then leads a ship into battle.  And again, his adventures are cleverly counterpointed by those of his alter ego  Stephen Maturin. --Amazon.com   less

I liked it WAY better than the first book in the series, and now I can't wait to get to the next one.

Another victory for P.O'B no other writer captures historic novels like he can.

This was even better than Master & Commander I think. Lots of great humor and character development. A couple of my favorite moments: when Maturin comes aboard in his woollen onesie and compares the frigate to an east indiaman; the incredibly unlikely escape from France by Aubrey and Maturin, using a bear suit as a disguise!

Patrick O'Brian is simply the best. Wow.

Is good by the end, but the first half is painfully slow.  Still, historicity seems pretty good, and the character development keeps the reader interested.

Second volume in the series does all these neat things for Jane Austen readers. Oh, Diana and the textile with the tigers on it! She's wonderful here.
