The Wine Dark Sea

by Patrick O'Brian

The "wine-dark sea" of the title is the Great South Sea, and Jack Aubrey and the crew of the Surprise are pursuing an American privateer. They are beset not only by the eruption of a volcano which takes innumerable lives, but by revolution, storms, frostbite, and the sudden appearance of Aubrey's illegitimate son.

Media Reviews

"I suspect that more than a few newcomers will emerge from THE WINE-DARK SEA aficionados, determined to master O'Brian's entire chronicle. Eventually, they will become as blithely informed on the seamanship and lingo of a square-rigged ship as the author--and as au courant with the zigs and zags of Captain Aubrey's naval career and Dr. Maturin's ploys on behalf of British intelligence. It will be a long voyage--but it is hard to imagine better shipmates."
