Story
Darting back and forth across the icy North Atlantic, Compass Rose played a deadly cat-and-mouse game with packs of German U-boats lying in wait beneath the ocean waves. Packed with tension and vivid descriptions of agonizing U-boat hunts, this tale of the most bitter and chilling campaign of the war tells of ordinary men who had to master their own fears before they could face a brutal menace - one that would strike without warning from the deep.

Publisher's Summary
At the opening of a voyage filled with disaster and delight, Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin are in pursuit of a privateer sailing under American colours through the Great South Sea. Stephen's objective is to set the revolutionary tinder of South America ablaze to relieve the pressure on the British government which has blundered into war with the young and uncomfortably vigorous United States. The shock and barbarity of hand-to-hand fighting are sharpened by O'Brian's exact sense of period, his eye for landscape and his feel for a ship under sail.

Not his best
I have read all of the books in this series up to this one - story wise this one is definitely not in the top 5. Little action and a lot of conversation especially related to the Doctor’s travels in the mountains. There were times I thought that the author was laying the groundwork for something to come but no. Rick Jerrold does a masterful job of narrating as per usual.

Highly enjoyable.
Another great O'Brian yarn, although not as exciting as some. Jerrom's performance is , once again, superb.
