H.M.S. Surprise, the third in O'Brian's acclaimed Aubrey-Maturin series, follows the variable fortunes of Captain Jack Aubrey's career in Nelson's navy....
Patrick O'Brian, CBE (12 December 1914 – 2 January 2000), born
Richard Patrick Russ, was an English novelist and translator, best
known for his Aubrey–Maturin series of novels set in the Royal Navy
during the Napoleonic Wars and centred on the friendship of English
naval captain Jack Aubrey and the Irish–Catalan physician Stephen
Maturin.
The 20-novel series, the first of which is Master and Commander, is
known for its well-researched and highly detailed portrayal of
early 19th-century life, as well as its authentic and evocative
language. A partially finished twenty-first novel in the series was
published posthumously containing facing pages of handwriting and
typescript. Ric Jerrom is an actor, writer and highly established
audiobook narrator. He is a leading performer and director with the
UK comedy theatre ensemble, Natural Theatre Company. He has
narrated a number of titles from big-name authors including Ruth
Rendell, Patrick O’Brian and Barbara Taylor Bradford.
