Publishers Description: Uniquely among authors of naval fiction, Patrick OBrian allows his characters to develop with experience. The Jack Aubrey of Treasons Harbour has a record of successes equal to that of the most brilliant of Nelsons band of brothers, and he is no less formidable or decisive in action or strategy. But he is wiser, kinder, gentler too.Much of the plot depends on intelligence and counter-intelligence, a field in which Aubreys friend, Stephen Maturin excels. There is plenty of action and excitement, but it is the atmosphere of a Malta crowded with senior officers waiting for news of what the French are up to, and wondering whether the war will end before their turn comes for prize money and fame, that is here so freshly and vividly conveyed.
