Overview
A handsomely bound omnibus edition of Patrick O'Brian's seafaring classics, including three chapters of the unfinished twenty-first novel.
The recent release of the film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World has focused even more attention on the publishing phenomenon of the late Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin novels about the Royal Navy in the age of Nelson. These five volumes, beautifully produced and boxed, contain over 7,000 pages of what has often been described as a single, continuous narrative. They are a perfect tribute to such a literary achievement, and a perfect gift for the serious O'Brian enthusiast.

Library Journal
Norton packs all of O'Brian's great seafaring novels into one set, creating a continuous narrative, then offers (in print and facsimile) the first three chapters of the book left unfinished upon O'Brian's death. Eager readers can join Aubrey on his final voyage: a mission to South Africa. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
