SUMMARY

* Includes an in-depth sourcebook that explains what was going on in the world at the time of the Aubrey-Maturin novels and that paints a vivid picture of what it was like to serve on a warship of Nelson's era. * Annotated drawings and diagrams reveal the parts of a ship and its rigging, as well as details of the guns, crewquarters, fighting tactics, and more. * Interactive boxes entitled "Through Aubrey's Eyes" point the reader to scenes in the novels that relate closely to the subjects under discussion in the chapter. * A "cast list" describes the major fictional characters encountered in the novels and also the real historical personalities that populate the books. * A glossary of nautical terminology and naval slang makes sense of the specialized vocabulary that peppers the novels.O'Neill, Richard is the author of 'Patrick O'Brian's Navy The Illustrated Companion to Jack Aubrey's World' with ISBN 9780762415403 and ISBN 0762415401.
