An enjoyable installment of O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series, though it bounces around between exotic settings a bit much. Also, at this stage it has become next to impossible to suspend disbelief in the chronology of the events being described. I realize O'Brian himself recognized this problem with his famous "1812a, 1812b" remarks, but nonetheless the departure from the series' standard of accuracy is unfortunate.
