Treason's Harbour

Aubrey/Maturin Series, Book 9

De: Patrick O'Brian

Narrado por: Patrick Tull

The espionage activities of cunning ship's surgeon Stephen Maturin have kept him at odds with the most important French agent in the Mediterranean, Lesueur, a man with a long memory and a taste for revenge. When that revenge takes the shape of the delicate and distracting Mrs. Fielding, who also attracts the ever-wandering eye of Jack Aubrey, Stephen's sensibilities are severely tested.Don't miss the rest of the Aubrey/Maturin series.©1983 Patrick O'Brian (P)2003 Recorded Books, LLC.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"...comic, grim, farcical, and tragic. An essential of the truly gripping book for the narrative addict is the creation of a whole, solidly living world for the imagination to inhabit, and O'Brian does this with prodigal specificity and generosity." (A.S. Byatt)

Suberbly written and performed!

My favorite tactical maneuvering by Aubrey and no other reader but Tull can make it sing so!

Setting up the bigger story

I’m seeing bad reviews bi this book sets up a much bigger story!
Patience will pay off

A rollicking read

In the best possible way, you cannot predict what will happen next. Overall this is not among my top favorites in this series, but long stretches of the story are O'Brian at his best. Stick with it, as it's most certainly worth your time.

Another good Aubry story.

The only thing I dislike about all the Aubry stories is that they're too short.

Back to Sea! Enough Drama, Let's Sail!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I had worried about a series so long, glad to find the middle still entertains and pleases! I'd reccomend it to anyone with any interest in the sea or period history... quite good!

What other book might you compare Treason's Harbour to and why?

Similar to the last book in style of course, but they also both end abruptly with tense sailing action! Another good one in the series!

Which character – as performed by Patrick Tull – was your favorite?

Killick is always my favorite in all the books... his grumbling always makes me laugh!

If you could take any character from Treason's Harbour out to dinner, who would it be and why?

much tho I'd be tempted to say Jack or Steven, tho he might get tedious, I'd probably most enjoy dinner and drinks with the midshipmen... it would be neat to see them outside of their forced formality with members of rank and I bet they'd tell the best stories!

Any additional comments?

Glad to see this one get back more to the sea side of things... it got bogged down there for a while with ladies, laws, and finances while all my favorite parts are at sea. Glad to read this one as more of a return to the more adventurous and discovering aspects... with some heated battles to get your blood pumping! Much Better By Me!
