| | 1. |  | 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

| | 2. |  | Blue at the Mizzen
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
No need to say too much here, there is lots of good content aptly describing this wonderful last (except for the remaining partial manuscript) of this wonderful series.
But a word to the gentleman reviewer from Vicksburg -- no need to try to show off your (questionable) learning here, and we do... more info

| | 3. |  | 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

| | 5. |  | 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

| | 7. |  | 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

| | 8. |  | 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.

| | 9. |  | The Commodore (Aubrey-Maturin Series)
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
Patrick O'Brian's "The Commodore" is the seventeenth book in Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series. The Aubrey-Maturin books are quite simply the best fiction I've ever read. I enjoy them so much that I find it difficult to read any other fiction now.
Although there are twenty (completed)... more info
