On foreign shores, and far from home, a friend can become a foe in a heartbeat.

Shipwrecked on an uninhabited island in the Dutch East Indies as the Napoleonic Wars rage on, circumstances look far from promising for Captain Jack Aubrey and his crew. And yet, having overcome the odds and contrived their escape, still further peril awaits in the fiercely tidal waters of the Salibu Passage and the penal settlements of New South Wales.

What fresh dangers lie over the horizon and will Jack Aubrey prevail?

‘In a highly competitive field it goes straight to the top. A real first-rater.’
MARY RENAULT

‘I’ve read [Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey Maturin nautical novel cycle] three times now, not least for its beautiful portrayal of a long term male friendship.’
ROBERT MACFARLANE

Patrick O'Brian

Patrick O’Brian, until his death in 2000, was one of our greatest contemporary novelists. He is the author of the acclaimed Aubrey–Maturin tales and the biographer of Joseph Banks and Picasso.

He is the author of many other books including Testimonies, and his Collected Short Stories. In 1995 he was the first recipient of the Heywood Hill Prize for a lifetime’s contribution to literature.

In the same year he was awarded the CBE. In 1997 he received an honorary doctorate of letters from Trinity College, Dublin. He lived for many years in South West France and he died in Dublin in January 2000.
