Title Description
With award-winning narrator John Lee as your guide, Books on Tape continues to re-record the beloved seafaring classics of Patrick O'Brian. His timeless adventures continue to captivate new audiences; many emerged from the movie, MASTER & COMMANDER, as O'Brian's aficionados, determined to master his entire chronicle. THE OBSERVER wrote that Aubrey/Maturin series is " the best thing afloat since Horatio Hornblower." DESOLATION ISLAND is "good history, fascinating erudition, espionage, romance, fever in the hold, a wreck in lost latitudes, and an action at sea that for sheer descripitve power can match anything in sea fiction" ( THE GUARDIAN).
