The Fortune of War (Aubrey - Maturin Series #6)

Amazon.com
This time it's the War of 1812 that gets in the way of Captain Jack Aubery's plans. Caught en route to England in a dispatch vessel, Aubrey and Maturin are soon in the thick of a typically bloody naval engagement. Next stop: an American prison, from which only Maturin's cunning allows them to engineer an exit.


Times Literary Supplement
The Fortune of War is a marvellously full-flavored, engrossing book, which towers over its current rivals in the genre like a three-decker over a ship's longboat.
