Treason's Harbour by Patrick O'Brian (English) Paperback Book

Description: Treason's Harbour by Patrick O'Brian "Every [Aubrey-Maturin] book is packed to absolute straining with erudition, wit, history, and thunderous action." —Joe Hill FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Stranded in Malta, Captain Jack Aubrey and surgeon Stephen Maturin must be careful, for the salons and dockyards are infested with Napoleons spies, and there is a traitor in the British intelligence network. This installment of Patrick OBrians "20-volume masterpiece" (Christopher Hitchens) takes Aubrey and Maturin sailing on the pirate-plagued waters of the Red Sea, trudging over the Sinai Peninsula and even the depths of the sea floor in their efforts to stay one step ahead of the treachery afoot. Back Cover Praise for the Aubrey/Maturin Series and Patrick OBrian "The best historical novels ever written." --Richard Snow, New York Times Book Review "I love these books.... [They offer] the same sense of lived experience as Hilary Mantel.... They will sweep you away and return you delighted, increased and stunned. If the phrase Napoleonic war fiction fills you with anticipation, then you dont need me to convince you to read [Patrick] OBrian. But for the rest of you.... [P]lease, just trust me." --Nicola Griffith, NPR "A few books work their way... onto [bestseller] lists by genuine, lasting excellence--witness The Lord of the Rings, or Patrick OBrians sea stories." --Ursula K. Le Guin "Like John LeCarr Author Biography One of our greatest contemporary novelists, Patrick OBrian is the author of the twenty volumes of the best-selling Aubrey/Maturin series, as well as many other books, including Testimonies, The Golden Ocean, The Unknown Shore, and biographies of Joseph Banks and Picasso. Review "An entire, discrete and compelling world, a totally believable entity which one might wish to inhabit." -- Kevin Myers - Irish Times"The deep pleasures of OBrians writing [are]: his wonderfully exact language, his erudition, his delight in human idiosyncrasy, his fine hand with character, his zest for the nitty-gritty of life and for life itself." -- Chicago Tribune Review Quote "The deep pleasures of OBrians writing [are]: his wonderfully exact language, his erudition, his delight in human idiosyncrasy, his fine hand with character, his zest for the nitty-gritty of life and for life itself."
