Whether close to home or far away, there are no safe harbours while Napoleon seeks to dominate the known world. Jack Aubrey, veteran of numerous battles, has been promoted to senior captain commanding a ship that has been sent out to reinforce the squadron blockading Toulon.

Irish Times 'Wonderfully spacious, generous, funny, intelligent books.' JOHN LANCHESTER
