The Surgeon's Mate - Patrick O'Brian

Our price: £2.64

The best since Post Captain

I have fallen for these novels since a sceptical encounter with master and Commander I have hurtled through about one a week .

This is the best so far . The development of the characters especailly Aubrey and Maturin never stales and the interplay between the recurring characters is never boring.

The eye for detail is amazing and the shipboard writing accurate but not impenetrable.

These are beautifully written and exciting novels .
