The Mauritius Command

ISBN: 0 00 469918X

by Patrick O'Brian

Captain Jack Aubrey is ashore, married with twin daughters living in damp cottages in Hampshire on half pay and without a command- until Stephen Maturin arrives with secret papers for Aubrey to take a frigate the Bodicea to the Cape of Good Hope, under a commodores pennant. But the difficulties of carrying out his orders are compounded by two of his own captains - Lord Clonfert a pleasure seeking dilettante, and captain Corbett, whose severity can push his crews to the verge of mutiny

The Times Literary Supplement: " Patrick O'Brian has written splendid novels - of which The Mauritious Command is the latest _ recounting episodes in the lives of naval officers Jack Aubrey and physician Steven Mauratin.... Taken together they are a brilliant achievement. They display staggering erudition on almost all aspects of nineteen century life with impeccable period detail.
