Summary

It has been said that this series is some of the finest historical fiction of our time....Aubrey and Maturin have been described as better than Holmes and Watson, the equal of Quixote and Panza....All this is true. And the marvel is, it hardly says enough.-John Balzar, Los Angeles Times

The Surgeon's Mate Summary

The Surgeon's Mate by Patrick O'Brian

British naval officer Jack Aubrey and surgeon Stephen Maturin, with his great love, Diana Villiers, speed home to England with news of their latest victory over the Americans. But Maturin is a marked man for the havoc he has wrought in the French intelligence network in the New World, and the trio run into trouble when they attract the menacing attention of two American privateers. The chase that follows through the fogs and shallows of the Grand Banks-and the highs and lows of the love affair between Maturin and Villiers-is as tense, stirring, and unexpected in its culmination as anything Patrick O'Brian has written in his epic series.

The Surgeon's Mate Reviews

They're funny, they're exciting, they're informative. . . . There are legions of us who gladly ship out time and time again under Captain Aubrey. -- Charles McGrath - The New Yorker
It has been something of a shock to find myself . . . obsessed with Patrick O'Brian's Napoleonic-era historical novels. . . . What keeps me hooked are the evolving relationships between Jack and Stephen and the women they love. -- Tamar Lewin - New York Times
