The nutmeg of consolation

O'Brian, Patrick 1914-2000 (Author). Roberts, Graham, reader. (Added Author).

Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin, captain in the Royal Navy and surgeon/intelligence agent respectively, are shipwrecked on a remote Dutch East Indies island. Employing great enterprise, Aubrey secures a new ship and sails for Australia. A penal colony by charter, in fact a grim outpost of legalized slavery, conditions there exacerbate Maturin's Irish temper and nearly provoke a diplomatic crisis.
