HarperCollins, 1973. Standard. Paperback. Good. Outline:- H.M.S. Surprise follows the variable fortunes of Captain Jack Aubrey`s career in Nelson`s navy as he attempts to hold his ground against admirals, colleagues and the enemy, accepting a mission to convey a British ambassador to the East Indies. The voyage takes him and his friend Stephen Maturin to the strange sights and smells of the Indian sub-continent, and through the archipelago of spice islands where the French have a near-overwhelming superiority. Rarely has a novel managed to convey more vividly the fragility of a sailing ship in a wild sea. Rarely has a historical novelist combined action and lyricism of style in the way that O` Brian does. His superb sense of place, brilliant characterisation, and a vigour and joy of writing lift O`Brian above any but the most exalted of comparisons.-> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is HarperCollins The date of this copy is 1973 booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from… Read More
