Title Description
It is the early 1800s and British men-o'-war, the famous "wooden walls," limit Napoleon's expansion. Jack Aubrey, a brilliant captain, has been struck from duty for a crime he did not commit.

Enter Stephen Maturin, Aubrey's best friend. Usually cast as a ship's surgeon (to mask his activities as an agent of British intelligence), Maturin buys Aubrey's former frigate Surprise and gives it to him as a privateer, more politely "a letter of marque."

They sail against the French on a mission that if successful will redeem Aubrey's career. Failure, particularly given the stakes, is simply not in his lexicon.

THE LETTER OF MARQUE is the 12th in the Aubrey/Maturin series following THE REVERSE OF THE MEDAL.
