Captain Jack Aubrey is ashore on half pay without a command—until Stephen Maturin arrives with secret orders for Aubrey to take a frigate to the Cape of Good Hope under a commodore's pennant, there to mount an expedition against the French-held islands of Mauritius and La Réunion. But the difficulties of carrying out his orders are compounded by two of his own captains—Lord Clonfert, a pleasure-seeking dilettante, and Captain Corbett, whose severity pushes his crew to the verge of mutiny.

Caught at the September 2014 Boston Bookcrossing meetup. Have Master ad Commander on my official reading list and I think of O'Brien now as the official author of Jane Austen's navy --this may not be a good thing but in any case, going to give this a whirl.
Pulling for the Sat. Sept. 2014 Boston Bookcrossing meetup.
