Master and Commander

from? an exceptionally talented narrator and an exceptional writer.

I was captivated by both. The narrator, Robert Hardy, is a master of voices and brings the entire cast to life. The author, Patrick O’Brian, is a master of prose.

The book is the first in the Aubrey-Maturin series, which is set during the Napoleonic Wars. The story follows the career of Captain Jack Aubrey and his friend, ship’s surgeon Stephen Maturin.

The book is rich in detail and atmosphere. The characters are richly drawn and the story is compelling.

I highly recommend both the book and the audiobook.
