READ THE BOOK BY PATRICK O'BRIAN...

Master and Commander is the first of Patrick O’Brian’s now famous Aubrey-Maturin novels, regarded by many as the finest historical novels ever written. It establishes the friendship between Captain Jack Aubrey RN and Stephen Maturin, who becomes the ship’s surgeon and a secret agent, and contains all the action and excitement which could possibly be hoped for in a historical novel.
