Description
"Travel along with Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin in this companion to the acclaimed sea - faring tales of Patrick O'Brian. For every novel in the series, you will find a chapter in Harbors and High Seas describing the plot's locale; providing background information on remote cities, key ports, and essential geographical features; and touching on significant events - without ever giving away the twists of the plot. This second edition features two completely new chapters, while the detailed maps of the first edition - depicting sea voyages, overland routes, battles, storms, landings, and other important events - have been updated to include the latest episodes in the Aubrey-Maturin novels, as well as illustrations by Geoff Hunt of Moahu and Dyak Island."--BOOK JACKET.
