The Surgeon's Mate by Patrick O'Brian,

Book description: Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin are ordered home by dispatch vessel to bring the news of their latest vitory to the government. But Maturin is a marked man for the havoc he has wrought in the Fren intelligence network in the New World, and the attentions of two privateers soon become menacing. The chase that follows is as thrilling and unexpected as anything O'Brian has written.

Review: The Surgeon?s Mate is the seventh novel in the Aubrey/Maturin series. I loved the beginning and ending of this book. I took a break from this series for a few months when I was in the middle of reading this installment. Bad idea. As a result, I forgot what the mission was about and had no clue what was going on. I?ll try not to do that again.
