The Fortune of War
Captain Jack Aubrey, R.N., arrives in the Dutch East Indies to find himself appointed to the command of the fastest and best-armed frigate in the Navy. He and his friend, ship's surgeon and secret agent Stephen Maturin, take passage for England in a dispatch vessel. However, the War of 1812 breaks out while they are en route, sweeping them into the thick of the action. Aubrey is wounded and convalesces in a Boston hospital, awaiting a prisoner exchange, while Maturin's past activities as a spy return to haunt him and precipitate both men into new and unexpected dangers.
