Desolation Island

by Patrick O'Brian Narrated by Patrick Tull

Overview

Jack's prize money has set the household accounts aright, but if he continues frittering it on naive extravagances, it will be gone in a fortnight. Fortunately he gets a commission aboard the Leopard, bound for Australia to rescue the hated and captive Captain Bligh.

Editorial Reviews

Guardian - Christopher Wordsworth

"Good history…espionage, romance…and an action at sea that for sheer descriptive power can match anything in sea-fiction."

Robert Massie

"I have been enthralled since reading Master and Commander. Now, having just finished Desolation Island, I find myself curiously anxious to slow down. True, [more] volumes await me, but what I have read is so rich and splendid that I need to ponder and digest."
