Master and Commander |
This is one of three Captain Aubrey novels I've devoured in the last month and if I had another to hand then I'd be reading it now. Not only entertaining but an education of the best possible sort, the characters nestle comfortably in their era and the story proceeds at its own pace. O'Brien is not a battles and action writer (possibly his weakest parts) but readers are soon willingly immersed in a living world.
