Mission in Ionia is the eighth installment in the Aubrey and Maturin series, written by Patrick O'Brian. In this novel, Captain Jack Aubrey is ordered to take command of the old and defective Worcester and participate in the blockade of Toulon. There, a delicate mission awaits him: to find an ally to help him expel the French from those waters. Stephen Maturin, surgeon, spy, and friend, will be of great help in bringing this enterprise to a successful conclusion, but the Mediterranean is full of unpleasant surprises.
Patrick O'Brian, born Richard Patrick Russ, was an English novelist and translator, best known for his Aubrey–Maturin series. These sea novels are set in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars and centre on the friendship of the English naval captain Jack Aubrey and the Irish–Catalan physician Stephen Maturin. The 20-novel series, the first of which is Master and Commander, is known for its well-researched and highly detailed portrayal of early 19th-century life, as well as its authentic and evocative language. A partially finished 21st novel in the series was published posthumously containing facing pages of handwriting and typescript.
