HMS Surprise
اس آڈیو بک کے بارے میں
Far from familiar seas, Captain Jack Aubrey and his crew must test themselves to the very limits of human endurance.
Following a daring rescue, Jack Aubrey accepts a new command and a new commission to a far-flung destination. Ahead of him and his crew are the new sights and smells of the Indian subcontinent, and the terrifying hazards of an archipelago of islands in the East Indies, where their French enemies have near overwhelming superiority.
‘Combines adventure and the art of the novel with an astonishing finesse.’
FRANCIS SPUFFORD
‘Few, very few, books have made my heart thump with excitement. HMS Surprise managed it.’

مصنف کے بارے میں
Patrick O’Brian was born in 1914 and published his first book, Caesar, when he was only fifteen. In the 1960s he began work on the idea that, over the next four decades, evolved into the twenty-novel long Aubrey–Maturin series (with an extra unfinished volume published posthumously). In 1995 he was awarded the CBE, and in 1997 he received an honorary doctorate of letters from Trinity College, Dublin. He died in January 2000 at the age of 85.
