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.

Here sets the bar

Patrick O'Brian's writing is multilayered, wry, exciting, succinct. I have read and listened to this whole series (21 books) several times.
