Description
Master and Commander is the first of Patrick O’Brian’s now famous Aubrey-Maturin novels, regarded by many as the greatest series of historical novels ever written. It establishes the friendship between Captain Jack Aubrey RN and Stephen Maturin, who becomes his secretive ship’s surgeon and an intelligence agent. It displays the qualities which have put O’Brian far ahead of any of his competitors: his depiction of the detail of life aboard an early 19th century man-of-war, of weapons, food, conversation and ambience, of the landscape and of the sea. O’Brian’s portrayal of each of these is faultless and the sense of period throughout is acute. His power of characterisation is above all masterly. Ric Jerrom reads this classic sea story from Patrick O’Brien.

After Englishman John Blackthorne is lost at sea, he awakens in a place few Europeans know of and even fewer have seen—Nippon. Thrust into the closed society that is seventeenth-century Japan, a land where the line between life and death is razor-thin, Blackthorne must negotiate not only a foreign people, with unknown customs and language, but also his own definitions of morality, truth, and freedom. As internal political strife and a clash of cultures lead to seemingly inevitable conflict, Blackthorne’s loyalty and strength of character are tested by both passion and loss.

This is a gripping adventure chock-full of "you-are-there" moments. Fluckey has drawn on logs, reports, letters, interviews, and a recently discovered illegal diary kept by one of his torpedomen.

Fun story, good narration
I don't go in for this sort of story much at my age but found it immediately engrossing. Good fun, great detail, and extremely talented narrator. Probably the best fit of any voice actor to any book I've listened to. Altogether, well worth it.

Simply stunning storytelling. You have to work with both the 18th century and specifically Royal Navy terminology and way to speak but it is gloriously brought to life by Ric Jerrom illuminating Patrick O’Brian’s fascinating novel where he is able to make seemingly mundane activities through to superbly descriptive sea actions totally engrossing.

I’ve been meaning to listen to this book since I watched the film many years ago and I am happy to report that the it was better than I could have hoped. Narration, story and characters come together to create a real masterpiece. I have just bought the second in the series and plan to listen to as many as there are in Audible. Huzzah Lucky Jack!

Great battles, a lot of introduction
The author was clearly intending a series and spends a lot of time building up the characters and setting. That's ok, even advisable, but it takes away from the story a bit. Great action scenes.
Good narrator, audio quality was less than perfect.

A Great Sea-Faring Yarn
I loved the Audible version of this tale. I had read the novel years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The narrator of the spoken book does an excellent job of rendering different personalities and their voices. You get a vivid sense of the personalities of Aubrey and Maturin, and also of all the secondary characters, which brings their whole world to life.
And if you’re a history buff, you learn a lot about the social history of the time, politics, as well as the importance of the navies, naval etiquette, warfare and how their bureaucracies functioned. (Unsurprisingly, bureaucrats have not changed much from then until now.)
Patrick O’Brian was a gifted writer, and gives us well developed characters, adventure and a glimpse into a eventful time in history when there were great upheavals and changes politically, socially and scientifically.
I read this excellent series many years ago, and will probably go through round two via Audible books. I find that Captain Jack Aubrey, Maturin and friends are great company while cooking, painting, etc.
