"Although O’Brian is ingenious at devising new adventures, it is the richness of his characters which justifies his reader’s continuing enthusiasm. . . . O’Brian acknowledges Jane Austen as one of his inspirations, and she need not be ashamed of the affiliation."
The South Seas are a paradise for battle-weary Captain Jack Aubrey and ship's surgeon Stephen Maturin. But their peace is disturbed when Stephen's fancy for a peculiar marine organism lands him overboard. Acting in his usual headstrong fashion, Jack dives in to the rescue, unfortunately failing to plan what will happen once they are both in the water watching the sails of the Surprise disappear in the mist.
