«Post Captain» is the historical adventure novel by Patrick O'Brian, published by HarperCollins Publishers in paperback (528 pages, in English).
Jack Aubrey returns to England at peace after the Treaty of Amiens and tries, with his friend Stephen Maturin, surgeon and secret agent, to live as a country gentleman. His sudden ruin forces him to flee to the continent, where Napoleon pursues him as a fugitive while debtor's prison and a new war loom.
Post Captain is the second novel in Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series.
For readers of historical fiction and naval adventures set during the Napoleonic Wars.
Patrick O'Brian, born Richard Patrick Russ, was an English novelist and translator, best known for his Aubrey–Maturin series. These sea novels are set in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars and centre on the friendship of the English naval captain Jack Aubrey and the Irish–Catalan physician Stephen Maturin. The 20-novel series, the first of which is Master and Commander, is known for its well-researched and highly detailed portrayal of early 19th-century life, as well as its authentic and evocative language. A partially finished 21st novel in the series was published posthumously containing facing pages of handwriting and typescript.
