"[O'Brian is] one of the best storytellers afloat, whose chosen period is the great age of fighting sail but whose works have none of ye olde creaks and groans of period fiction....Mr. O'Brian while telling his yarn writes like a man simply at home in a 500-ton frigate. All the naval minutiae of the early 19th century are evidently in his grasp, but like the Surprise's maintopsails, they are used to drive the book forward, a great show that also has cumulative effect."Patrick O'Brian is the author of 'The Truelove (Vol. Book 15) (Aubrey/Maturin Novels)', published 1992 under ISBN 9780393031096 and ISBN 0393031098.
