Post Captain by Patrick O'Brian,

Book Description: In 1803, Napoleon smashes the Peace of Amiens, and Captain Jack Aubrey, R.N., is interned in France. He escapes from France, from debtor's prison, and from a possible mutiny and pursues his quarry straight into the mouth of a French-held harbor.

Review: It?s hard to put my finger on exactly why I loved this book so much. It has been a long time since I?ve enjoyed a group of characters so much. This book builds on the relationships set up in the first and adds a bit of romance into the mix. There?s also quite a few hilarious moments. This book was hard to put down and I?ll quickly be moving on to the third in the series.
