The Ionian Mission
Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin return in this novel to the seas where they first sailed as shipmates. But Jack is now a senior captain commanding a line-of-battle ship in the Royal Navy's blockade of Toulon, and this is a longer, harder, colder war than the dashing frigate actions of his early days. A sudden turn of events takes him and Stephen off on a hazardous mission to the Greek Islands, where all his old skills of seamanship and his proverbial luck when fighting against odds come triumphantly into their own.

My new novel, HOW LONG IS NOW, is now available from @SpuytenDuyvil: https://t.co/wZ3unfVpt9
Well if it isn't the eighth in my series of essays on Patrick O'Brian's #Aubreyad, in which a discussion of The Ionian Mission as hangout novel gets sidetracked by considerations of art's autonomy. #AubreyMaturin #MasterandCommander #PatrickOBrian https://t.co/Q2pHfjWkWA
Praise for this book
Patrick O'Brian is unquestionably the Homer of the Napoleonic wars.--James Hamilton-Paterson "New Republic"
[The Aubrey/Maturin series] offers readers the naive pleasures of The Three Musketeers or Sherlock Holmes--that is, high adventure and characters who become our friends for life--while providing the more complex rewards of serious fiction.--Mark Horowitz "New York Times Book Review"
