  • "Interned in France where he was seeking refuge from creditors when Napoleon broke the Peace of Amiens, Captain Jack Aubrey must escape and return to England."@en
  • "This tale begins with Jack Aubrey arriving home from his exploits in the Mediterranean to find England at peace following the Treaty of Amiens. He and his friend Stephen Maturin, surgeon and secret agent, begin to live the lives of country gentlemen, hunting, entertaining and enjoying more amorous adventures. Their comfortable existence, however, is cut short when Jack is overnight reduced to a pauper with enough debts to keep him in prison for life. He flees to the continent to seek refuge: instead he finds himself a hunted fugitive as Napoleon has ordered the internment of all Englishmen in France. Aubrey's adventures in escaping from France and the debtors' prison will grip the reader as fast as his unequalled actions at sea."
  • "Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin tales are widely acknowledged to be the greatest series of historical novels ever written. Now these evocative stories are being re-issued in paperback by Harper Perennial with stunning new jackets."@en
  • "Een Engelse luitenant-ter-zee wordt achtervolgd door schuldeisers, terwijl hij zich ook op een verloving bezint."
  • "Jack Aubrey's decision to seek refuge from his troubles and creditors in France proves to be a double disaster. With war resumed, and Jack in a French gaol, the scene is set for another roaring adventure on land and sea."
  • "Post Captain is the second novel in Patrick O'Brian's beloved adventure series. In 1803 Napoleon smashes the Peace of Amiens, and Captain Jack Aubrey, Royal Navy, taking refuge in France from his creditors, is interned. He escapes from France, from debtors' prison, from a possible mutiny, and pursues his quarry straight into the mouth of a French-held-harbor. Stephen Maturin's struggles, with himself as much as with a proud and intelligent woman, are woven into Aubrey's, straining their friendship at times to the breaking point."
  • "Aubrey and Maturin take to the sea in pursuit of French and Spanish enemies."
