The Commodore.
New York: Norton, 1995. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine unread copy with faint evidence of sticker removal on flyleaf in Fine bright dust jacket. This is the 17th novel in the Aubrey/Maturin series. Much of The Commodore takes place on land, in sitting rooms and in drafty castles, but the roar of the great guns is never far from our hearing. Aubrey and Maturin are sent on a bizarre decoy mission to the fever-ridden lagoons of the Gulf of Guinea to suppress the slave trade. But their ultimate destination is Ireland, where the French are mounting an invasion that will test Aubrey's seamanship and Maturin's resourcefulness as a secret intelligence agent. Item #29013
