4.5

This is book ten in his series following Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin and I just love the stories and the way Patrick O'Brian writes.  Each book manages to be quite different and are not simply a battle at sea novel.
I find myself rationing reading these books as I simply don't want to run out of them! If you haven't read him yet and you like adventure / historical fiction I don't think you will be disappointed
