The Letter of the Marque: Aubrey-Maturin Series, Book 12 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Jack Aubrey, though dishonored in the Royal Navy, manages to find action at sea as a privateer in his old ship the Surprise. Meanwhile, Maturin struggles to deal with newfound wealth, his troubled marriage, and his addiction to laudanum. Lots of character growth for both of them, and it's sweet to watch them support each other even though their separate lives aren't going so well. "

" Felt there was more freedom for Aubrey in this book, although he seemed more dour not his usual happy self. Do enjoy reading the further adventures of the two men. "

" I listened to the audio book read by Patrick Tull. He does a fantastic job bringing the charactors alive. I am totally hooked on this series now. "

" I read this in one sitting. Don't pick it up unless you have a lot of time in front of you...there's no place to pause and catch your breath. "

" This may be my favorite Aubrey/Maturin tale to date. "

" This series has become my reliable source of comfort reads. It is just as I'm typing this that I've realized that it's rather odd that I chose a series about naval warfare as comfort reads. "

" One of my faves in this series -- several good battles plus Stephen gets a chance at romance. "

" 1st Recorded Reading: August 2001 "

" Well written, this installment of the series ties up a number of loose ends from previous story arcs. Looking forwards to the next one! "

" Another excellent seafaring adventure by O'Brian. However, this book felt more like a bridge between others in the series and less like its own tale. "

" Currently re-reading and still as in love withe these books as ever i was.Think i should start a shelf entitled re-reads. "

" A much stronger outing than #11, full of sea battles and twists and turns of fortune. A fun read in this great series. "

" Damn, I love these books. After a few accidental rereads I am now back on track with the books I have not read yet. This one is beautifully filled with sly naval tactics, political machinations, and bantering. "

" This book is #13 in the series...and I was (still) engaged. By itself it was a good read; as part of the series, it was another puzzle piece put in place. "

" Captain Aubrey and Dr. Maturin experience a wider range of highs and lows in this book than in previous ones, but the authenticity of O'Brian's world and the bonds of friendship between the characters stays true throughout. "

" Very satisfying resurrection of Lucky Jack Aubrey. "

" A nice and short read, nothing new really. :) "

" Lots of action! And I was so glad to see Jack finally get some lucky breaks! That poor guy is so sincere and fair, but unfortunately a little too gullible when it comes to issues on land... "

" You don't get to page 4,139 of the series if you don't enjoy them. "

" I think i need to take a break from these books. "

" A relieving and satisfying tying off of the tragic loose ends from the previous book. "

" Credo che l'unico modo per non restare delusi da questo libro è leggerlo seguendo il giusto ordine della serie.Non è stato il mio caso, purtroppo. "

" I listened to the audio book read by Patrick Tull. He does a fantastic job bringing the charactors alive. I am totally hooked on this series now. "

" This book is #13 in the series...and I was (still) engaged. By itself it was a good read; as part of the series, it was another puzzle piece put in place. "

" Half way through the series which makes me sort of sad. This is a very good one -- could be a movie all on its own. "

" This one seemed like it was a little too easy. "
