Episodios de una guerra

The year is 1812, and Captain Aubrey smiles with satisfaction. Even in the distant Dutch East Indies, he has received excellent news: he has been appointed commander of the fastest and best-armed frigate in the British fleet—an exceptional vessel. Eager to assume his new command without delay, he immediately sets sail with his inseparable friend Stephen Maturin on a ship bound for England. Yet, once they are on the high seas, war breaks out with the United States, and what was meant to be a peaceful voyage home turns into a perilous journey fraught with danger and violence. Meanwhile, Stephen Maturin’s past as a secret agent comes to light... The battle has only just begun.
