One of our greatest contemporary novelists, Patrick O’Brian is the author of the twenty volumes of the best-selling Aubrey/Maturin series, as well as many other books, including Testimonies, The Golden Ocean, The Unknown Shore, and biographies of Joseph Banks and Picasso.
"I haven’t read novels [in the past ten years] except for all of
the Patrick O’Brian series. It was, unfortunately, like tripping on
heroin. I started on those books and couldn’t stop."
*E. O. Wilson - Boston Globe*
"Brings [O'Brian's] achievement to a new height....Such is
O'Brian's power to possess the imagination that I found I was
living in his world as much as my own, wanting to know what happens
next. That is the real test. Any contemporary novelist should
recognize in Patrick O'Brian a Master of the Art."
*Alan Judd - Sunday Telegraph [London]*
