An immediate precursor to Patrick O'Brian's acclaimed Aubrey/Maturin series, displaying all the splendid prose and attention to detail that O'Brian's readers expect.
Patrick O'Brian's first novel about the sea, The Golden Ocean, took inspiration from Commodore George Anson's fateful circumnavigation of the globe in 1740. In The Unknown Shore, O'Brian returns to this rich source and mines it brilliantly for another, quite different tale of exploration and adventure."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. No Jacket. Patrick O'Brian's first novel about the sea, "The Golden Ocean", took inspiration from Commodore Anson's ill-fated voyage around the globe in 1740. With "The Unknown Shore" O'Brian returns to this rich source to recount the adventures of two young men--midshipman Jack Byron and naive surgeon's mate Tobias Barrow--abroad the "Wager", which was parted from Anson's squadron by fierce storms and shipwrecked off the coast of Chile. In Jack and Toby, O'Brian fans will thrill to catch fascinating glimpses of Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin, famed heroes of the great Aubrey/Maturin series to come. Seller Inventory # 867
