Series O'Brian, Patrick, 1914-2000. Aubrey & Maturin ; 12. ISBN:  9780006499275 9780393309058 (trade pbk.) 0393309053 (trade pbk.) Description:  284 p. : ill. ; 20 cm. Notes:  Originally published as a Norton paperback 1992 by arrangement with William Collins & Co. Ltd. Summary:  "Jack Aubrey is a naval officer, a post captain of experience and capacity. When The Letter of Marque opens he has been struck off the Navy List for a crime he has not committed, and because he is the man he is there is no position that could cause him greater unhappiness. With Aubrey is his friend and ship's surgeon Stephen Maturin, who is also an unofficial British intelligence agent. Maturin has bought for Aubrey his old ship the Surprise so that the misery of ejection from the service can be palliated by the command of what Aubrey calls 'a private man-of-war' — a letter of marque, a privateer. Together they sail on a voyage which, if successful, might restore Aubrey to the rank, and the raison d'etre, whose loss he so much regrets."--HarperCollins. Genre:  Historical fiction. Sea stories.
