Yellow Admiral; The,
Yellow Admiral; The, [B00276] #18 by Patrick O'Brian, The rise and fall of Captain Jack Aubrey, R.N. and Ship's Surgeon Stephen Maturin, is set in brilliant counterpoint to the rise and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte. Life ashore may once again be the undoing of Jack Aubrey. Aubrey, now a considerable, though impoverished, landowner, has dimmed his prospects at the Admiralty by his erratic voting as a member of parliament; he is feuding with his neighbor, a man with strong Navy connections who wants to enclose the common land between their estates; he is on worse terms with his wife, Sophie, whose mother has ferreted out a most damaging trove of old personal letters. Even Aubrey's exploits at sea turn sour: in the storm water off Brest he captures a French privateer laden with gold and ivory, but this is at the expense of missing a signal and deserting his post. Worst of all, in the spring of 1814, peace breaks out. Fortunately he is not left to his own devices. Stephen Maturin returns from a mission in France with the news that the Chileans, to secure their independence, require a navy and the services of English officers. Jack is savoring this apparent reprieve for his career, as well as Sophie's forgiveness, when he receives an urgent dispatch ordering him to Gibraltar: Napoleon has escaped from Elba. (W.W.

Hundred Days; The
[B00544] #19 by Patrick O'Brian,
--Napoleon escapes from Elba, and the fate of Europe hinges on a desperate mission: Stephen Maturin must ferret out the French dictator's secret link to the powers of Islam , and Jack Aubrey must destroy it. Like a vengeful phoenix, Napoleon's armies aggressively pursue his enemies across Europe, attempting to corner the British and Prussians before their Russian and Austrian allies arrive. But Napoleon has a secret plan in train, one only now revealed, to delay the Russians and Austrians, a plan dependent on finding armed support through his conversion to Islam. Boldly conceived and brilliantly executed, The Hundred Days is Patrick O'Brian's most ambitious book yet, and surely one of his most rewarding. O'Brian succeeds in grafting his familiar, ever compelling characters to actions leading to the final defeat of Napoleon.

Blue At The Mizzen
#20 by Patrick O'Brian, The excitement of the Aubrey/Maturin series soars to new heights in this volume, as Jack, again the daring frigate commander of old, stakes all on a desperate solo night raid against the might of the Spanish viceroy in Peru. Napoleon has been defeated at Waterloo, and the ensuing peace takes on an ugly complexion for Captain Jack Aubrey: Drunken, violent celebrations of the English sailors in Gibraltar; the desertion of nearly half his crew; and the sudden dimming of his own career prospects in a peacetime navy. To cap it all off, the Surprise is nearly sunk in a shattering night collision on the first leg of her journey to South America, where Jack and Stephen are to help Chile assert her independence from Spain. The delay occasioned by repairs reaps a harvest of strange consequences. The widowed Stephen Maturin experiences a startling emotional rebirth, and an amorous adventure in a mangrove swamp with the beautiful and accomplished naturalist Christine Wood leads to a proposal of marriage. Jack, meanwhile, is persuaded to accept as a midshipman the bastard of the Duke of Clarence (later King William IV). Young Horatio Hanson--officially unacknowledged, but clearly his father's favorite--is one of O'Brian's most engaging characters, and the distinction he earns in the coming campaign will have important repercussions on Jack's fortunes. The South American expedition is a desperate affair, starting with near disaster in the ice-choked seas far south of the Horn, and further marred by bitter divisions in the Chilean naval command. In the end it is Jack's bold initiative to strike at the vastly superior Spanish fleet that precipitates the spectacular naval action that will determine both Chile's fate and--W. W.
