Treason's Harbour by Patrick O'brian
All Patrick O'Brian's strengths are on parade in this novel of action and intrigue, set partly in Malta, partly in the treacherous, pirate-infested waters of the Red Sea. While Captain Aubrey worries about repairs to his ship, Stephen Maturin assumes the center stage for the dockyards and salons of Malta are alive with Napoleon's agents, and the admiralty's intelligence network is compromised. Maturin's cunning is the sole bulwark against sabotage of Aubrey's daring mission.
"An entire, discrete and compelling world, a totally believable entity which one might wish to inhabit" -- Kevin Myers - Irish Times
"The deep pleasures of O’Brian’s writing [are]: his wonderfully exact language, his erudition, his delight in human idiosyncrasy, his fine hand with character, his zest for the nitty-gritty of life and for life itself." -- Chicago Tribune
