Book Description
================
At the time of his death, Patrick O'Brian was halfway through a novel
to follow on from Blue at the Mizzen. These are the chapters he had
completed of the final voyage of Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin --
the greatest friendship of modern literatureTHE FINAL VOYAGE OF JACK
AUBREY... with an AFTERWORD by William Waldegrave.The story picks up
from the end of Blue at the Mizzen when Jack Aubrey receives the news,
in Chile, of his elevation to flag rank: Rear Admiral of the Blue Squadron,
with orders to sail to the South Africa station. This new novel, unfinished
and untitled at the time of O'Brian's death, would have been a chronicle
of that mission, and much else besides.As the novel opens, we are able
to visit these friends we have followed so very far in a rare state
of almost perfect felicity. Jack has seen his illegitimate son ably
discharging important duties. Sophie and his daughters are with him;
Brigid is with her father, she's thriving, and Stephen is with a woman
who is very dear to him. Jack, at last, is flying a rear-admiral's flag
aboard a ship of the line.
