| | 2. |  | Master and Commander
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
I have lost count of the number of times I have read and re-read all 20 books in the Aubrey/Maturin canon (about 7000 pages) in recent years. O'Brian is a master storyteller with an unbounded imagination and razor wit. The action is fast paced, and his characters are richly drawn, compelling,... more info

| | 3. |  | The Complete Aubrey/Maturin Novels
from W. W. Norton
Price: $110.25
Customer Review:
What should have been the definitive edition of these works has evidently been done on a penny-pinching budget (very probably copy-edited by a student earning vacation money). The misprints at some points really do detract horribly from the prose. Especially annoying for an author who took so much... more info

| | 4. |  | Blue at the Mizzen
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
While I have not read this group of books myself, I can tell you that my husband and son devoured these books and were left wanting more after completing the final book - Blue at the Mizzen. I have heard them discuss this collection at great length and I believe that they would be capable (and... more info

| | 5. |  | The Hundred Days (Aubrey/Maturin Series)
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
We made the mistake of buying this ABRIDGED version of The Hundred Days, not noticing the FINE PRINT. The reader was very good, but the material truncated, choppy, and not "up to snuff." If you are a devoted fan of the Aubrey-Maturin stories, hurry up and read, yes, read the book. There's not a... more info

| | 7. |  | Post Captain (Aubrey Maturin Series)
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
Many complain that this volume lacks sufficient adventure, focusing too much on the manners of the time. I can understand that sentiment, although I don't sympathize with it. Patrick O'Brian was not merely trying to write rousing adventure novels - pot boilers, as they're commonly called. This he... more info

| | 9. |  | The Wine-Dark Sea
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
From the opening chapter of "The Wine-Dark Sea," the 16th book in Patrick O'Brian's hallowed Master & Commander series, the reader knows that something special is going on. Aubrey and Maturin sail their privateer, the Surprise, into waters made lethal by an erupting volcano that has just emerged... more info

| | 10. |  | The Yellow Admiral (Aubrey-Maturin)
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
This last in the series was obviously thrown together. I believe that O'Brian said he was not going to write any more than 21...this is an afterthought. The story is erratic and themes are left un-solved. Apart from that, for afficiandos its worth picking up.
