Post Captain

by Patrick O'Brian Narrated by Patrick Tull

Overview

The Peace of Amiens has left Aubrey with no ship, no enemy to pursue and no possibility of prize money to supplement his meager income. His decision to seek refuge from his troubles-and creditors-in France proves doubly disastrous.

Editorial Reviews

Richard Snow

"The best historica novel ever written." -- New York Times

Mary Renault

"Master and Commander raised almost dangerously high expectations, Post Captain triumphantly surpasses them… a brilliant book."

New York Times - David Mamet

"[Patrick O’Brian] has created characters and stories that are part of my life.… His Aubrey-Maturin series, 20 novels of the Royal Navy in the Napoleonic Wars, is a masterpiece."

Taranaki Herald [New Zealand]

One of the finest seafaring novels of the Napoleonic wars.

E. O. Wilson - Boston Globe

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.
