The higher one climbs, the further there is to fall. As war with Napoleon seemingly draws to a close, opportunities for advancement are limited and Jack Aubrey faces the ultimate indignity - the possibility of being 'yellowed', or retired, and set aside with no squadron of his own.

RICHARD SNOW, New York Times 'These novels are a brilliant achievement. They display staggering erudition on almost all aspects of eighteenth-century life.' Times Literary Supplement
