Excellent, though I’m clearly biased having loved all nine of the preceding books in the series. A fine mix of sea, geography, anthropology, conflict, nature, the wide world and the occasional ruse de guerre. Highly recommended. If you’re considering ...more "

"Halfway through the series. A lot of this book is in the Russel Crowe movie of the same name. Though the movie borrows from other books in the series.
Waaaaaayyyyy better than the excellent movie. Stephen Maturin is far more complicated, capable, and complimentary to Jack Aubrey.
If you’ve never read any of these please please please read #3, HMS Surprise. If you read it and don’t like it we’re different." — Jan 04, 2026 05:09PM

“that every form of authority means coercion over men, and that a time will come when there shall be neither Caesars, nor any other rulers. Man will come into the kingdom of truth and justice, where there will be no need for any authority.”

“Jesus to Pilate:
"The trouble is," the bound man went on, not stopping by anyone, "that you are too closed off and have definitely lost faith in people. You must agree, one can't place all one's affection in a dog. Your life is impoverished, Hegemon.”
