Beschreibung:
Patrick O'Brian stammt aus einer englisch-irischen Familie. 1969 begann er seine Seefahrerromane über Jack Aubrey und Dr. Stephen Maturin zu schreiben. Sie wurden international schnell zum Inbegriff spannender historischer Unterhaltung, und Millionen nicht nur maritim interessierter Leser warten gespannt auf den jeweils nächsten Roman. Durch seinen Tod im Januar 2000 verlor England den anerkanntesten Autor im Genre maritime Literatur.
The adventure continues . . . At the time of his death, Patrick O'Brian had begun to write the twenty-first book in his famous and much-loved Aubrey-Maturin series. The chapters he left behind are presented here, both in printed version and a facsimile of his manuscript, which goes several pages beyond the end of the typescript and includes O'Brian's own marginal notes.The story picks up from the end of Blue at the Mizzen when Jack Aubrey receives the news, in Chile, of his elevation to flag rank: Rear Admiral of the Blue Squadron, with orders to sail to the South Africa station.'This fragment is both delightful and tantalising, with hints of a plot that might have involved Jack and Stephen with St Helena or Napoleon himself.'Literary Review
