Synopsis of The Road to Samarcand
En esta novela clásica de Patrick O'Brian, un joven americano llamado Derrick, tras la trágica muerte de sus padres misioneros, queda al cuidado de su tío Sullivan, capitán de The Wanderer. Después de sobrevivir a un tifón en el Mar de China Meridional, y acompañados por un excéntrico primo anciano, se embarcan en la búsqueda de tesoros antiguos en Asia Central. Derrick entabla amistad con un feroz guerrero mongol y debe ayudarlo a luchar contra un despiadado señor de la guerra chino. Recibido un regalo de jade invaluable, el grupo es perseguido hacia las inhóspitas montañas del Tíbet, donde quedan atrapados entre feroces monjes de montaña y una aterradora criatura sin nombre que los acecha entre la nieve.

About the author
Patrick O'Brian
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.
