Synopsis
"Master and Commander raised almost dangerously high expectations, Post Captain triumphantly surpasses them...a brilliant book." --Mary Renault, "We've beat them before and we'll beat them again." In 1803 Napoleon smashes the Peace of Amiens, and Captain Jack Aubrey, R. N., taking refuge in France from his creditors, is interned. He escapes from France, from debtors' prison, and from a possible mutiny, and pursues his quarry straight into the mouth of a French-held harbor.

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.

  • Aubrey / Maturin Series

    I'm no literary reviewer, but I'm enjoying these books enormously (with constant reference to the dictionary for the many nautical terms employed). They are vastly entertaining and informative, just a wonderful read.

    This book was bought to replace a lost one as part of a series. The book was in excellent condition. This series of books are an excellent read if you like sea stories and history.
