The Surgeon's Mate by Patrick O'Brian

Boulder’s first review of the year

liked it
Bloody weird; the second of the series in a row without a sniff of a command for Aubrey - well, (view spoiler). There is a plot, but it's barely relevant, it's more about beef-steak and love affairs. Very perculiar. ...more
