In 'Operation Mauritius', Captain Jack Aubrey finds himself enjoying domestic life until a secret mission takes him back to the sea. Alongside his friend Stephen Maturin, Aubrey must seize the islands of Reunion and Mauritius from the French, facing dangers and challenges in the Indian Ocean. However, the situation is complicated by the presence of two problematic captains in his armada, who jeopardize the mission and the stability of the crew. This is the fourth installment in the Aubrey-Maturin series, a historical novel of maritime adventures set in the Napoleonic Wars.
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.
