The fourteenth novel in the classic Aubrey-Maturin series finds Aubrey and
Maturin shipwrecked, harassed by pirates and then in the brutal penal colonies
of New South Wales.Patrick O'Brian is regarded by many as the greatest living
historical novelist writing in English. In The Nutmeg of Consolation, Jack
Aubrey and Stephen Maturin begin stranded on an uninhabited island in the Dutch
East Indies, attacked by ferocious Malay pirates. They contrive their escape,
but after a stay in Batavia and a change of ship, they are caught up in a night
chase in the fiercely tidal waters and then embroiled in the much more insidious
conflicts of the terrifying penal settlements of New South Wales. It is one of
O'Brian's most accomplished and gripping books.
