Ltd."--Title page verso.  a""If Jane Austen had written rousing sea yarns, she would have produced something very close to the prose of Patrick O'Brian." -Time. It's 1802. The Treaty of Amiens has brought an end to the hostilities between Great Britain and France. Captain Jack Aubrey and his friend, naval surgeon Stephen Maturin, are enjoying the respite in the English countryside, besotted with two beautiful cousins, Sophie Williams and Diana Villiers-until Aubrey loses his fortune and they flee to France to escape his creditors. While in France, Napoleon smashes the Peace of Amiens and war begins anew. Aubrey and Maturin, now finding themselves behind enemy lines, make their way back to England. Maturin is sent to Spain on an intelligence-gathering mission and the now-solvent Aubrey assumes command of a strange warship, pursuing his quarry straight into the mouth of a French-held harbor. Amidst the rollicking adventures at sea and mishaps on land, Aubrey and Maturin's friendship is tested by their romantic entanglements with the cousins in this brilliant second installment of the epic series"--cProvided by publisher. 7aHistorical fiction.2gsafd  a0bvipcorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2ddccBKn0  c2946d2946  00102ddc40708FICa001b001cTKSFd2024-01-25l1oOBR 823.914 PR6029.B55p2024-0050r2024-06-14 15:35:21s2024-05-10w2024-01-25yBK
