Publisher's Summary

In their 16th outing, Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin pursue a prize into the Great Southern Ocean. The story takes Maturin to South America. Caught up in a failed coup, he flees across the Andes. Aubrey makes a desperate voyage in a open boat, but both survive and are reunited.

"The best chapter yet in the continuing saga of life in Nelson's navy." (Publishers Weekly)

What the critics say

"So much better than the competition that comparisons long ago ceased to be relevant: [the Aubrey/Maturin books] are uniquely excellent. (The New York Times)
Meticulously researched and heart-stoppingly vivid." (Washington Post Book World)
