N., arrives in the Dutch East Indies to find himself appointed to the command of the fastest & best-armed frigate in the Navy. He & his friend Stephen Maturin take passage for England in a dispatch vessel. But the War of 1812 breaks out while they are en route. Bloody actions precipitate them both into new & unexpected scenes where Stephen's past activities as a secret agent return on him with a vengeance. * HIGHEST PRAISE for THE FORTUNE of WAR: "'The Fortune of War' is a marvelously full-flavored, engrossing book, which towers over its current rivals in the genre like a 3-decker over a ship's longboat." -T.J. Binyon, TLS * HIGHEST PRAISE for PATRICK O'BRIAN: "Taken together, the novels are a brilliant achievement. They display staggering erudition on almost all aspects of early 19th-ventury life, w/ impeccable period detail. [Compared to Forester's characters] Aubrey & Maturin are subtler, richer items; in addition Patrick O'Brian has a gift for the comic which Forester lacks." -T.J. Binyon, TLS "O'Brian is astonishingly good." -The Times, London. "The best historical novels ever written." -Richard Snow, NYT. "Aubrey & Maturin compose one of those complex & fascinating pairs of characters which have inspired thrilling stories of all kinds since the 'Iliad'." -John Bayley & Iris Murdoch. "O'Brian's sheer brilliance as a writer constantly dazzles & his power over the reader is unique. He is the master." -Kevin Myers, Irish Press * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: In addition to 21 volumes in the highly acclaimed Abrey-Maturin series, PATRICK O'BRIAN 's many novels include "Testimonies", "The Golden Ocean" & "The Unknown Shore". O'Brian also wrote acclaimed biographies of Pablo Picasso & Sir Joseph Banks & translated many works from the French, among them the novels & memoirs of Simone de Beauvoir & Jean Lacouture's biography of Charles DeGaulle. For many years he & his wife made their home in the south of France. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & to international destinations via efficient USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL at our posted rates.
