Description
Commissioned to rescue Governor Bligh of Bounty fame, Captain Jack Aubrey and his friend and surgeon Stephen Maturin sail the Leopard to Australia with a hold full of convicts. Among them is a beautiful and dangerous spy—and a treacherous disease that decimates the crew. With a Dutch man-of-war to windward, the undermanned, outgunned Leopard sails for her life into the freezing waters of the Antarctic, where, in mountain seas, the Dutchman closes.
Advance Praise
Good history, fascinating erudition, espionage, romance, fever in the
hold, a wreck in lost latitudes, and an action at sea that for sheer
descriptive power can match anything in sea fiction.
