Surgeon's Mate

It's been a while since I read that book. And another one passed in between this and the previous one - so I felt a real hunger for some sea adventures. 

I must say I was not disappointed - even though the most of the adventures had taken place on shore this time. 

You might thin that it is Aubrey that plays the first fiddle in the Patrick O'Brian's series. Well - he plays violin. I've read only six books (out of twenty - I guess) and so far it is Maturin that counts. Surprisingly to his movie's appearance - he is not that weak and he's skilled not only in healing. There is a lot of secrets hidden behind his pale face. 

This time Maturin and Aubrey sailed to the Baltic Sea with a secret and very important mission. There were no warm picturesques as this is a rather cold area. On their way back they run out of luck...

It is enough to say they were imprisoned in Paris. At this point I won't tell You how did the story end. Sea ... I mean See it for Yourselves and feel the thrills while reading it. I know I felt...

by the way... If You happen to know Polish there's a friendly site on that book.

keep warm and good night
