One of our greatest contemporary novelists, Patrick O’Brian is the author of the twenty volumes of the best-selling Aubrey/Maturin series, as well as many other books, including Testimonies, The Golden Ocean, The Unknown Shore, and biographies of Joseph Banks and Picasso.
"I haven’t read novels [in the past ten years] except for all of
the Patrick O’Brian series. It was, unfortunately, like tripping on
heroin. I started on those books and couldn’t stop."
*E. O. Wilson - Boston Globe*
"Patrick O’Brian is unquestionably the Homer of the Napoleonic
wars."
*James Hamilton-Paterson - New Republic*
"A first-rate tale of the sea…I read it with absorption and
satisfaction."
*Robertson Davies*
