Publisher Description
"La asignación de Jack: capturar las islas del Océano Índico de Reunión y Mauricio de los franceses. Esa campaña forma el hilo narrativo de esta saga de mar. Pero su sustancia es aún más cautivadora." —Elizabeth Peer, NewsweekEl capitán Jack Aubrey está en tierra con medio sueldo sin mando, hasta que Stephen Maturin llega con órdenes secretas para que Aubrey lleve una fragata al Cabo de buena Esperanza bajo el banderín de un comodoro, allí para montar una expedición contra las islas francesas de Mauricio y La Reunión. Pero las dificultades para llevar a cabo sus órdenes se agravan por dos de sus propios capitanes: Lord Clonfert, un diletante que busca placer, y el capitán Corbett, cuya severidad empuja a su tripulación al borde del motín.
