Amazon.co.uk

The year is 1803, and that scalliwag Napoleon Bonaparte has gone to war again. For Captain Jack Aubrey, who has fled to France to escape his creditors, this is doubly alarming news. In short order the captain is interned, makes his escape across the French countryside, then leads a ship into battle. And again, his adventures are cleverly counterpointed by those of his alter ego Stephen Maturin. --Amazon.com

5.0 von 5 Sternen 5 Indebted Captains as Aubrey reaches stride, 26. Mai 2000
Von Bill Mac "hmcs_kenogami" (windsor, ontario Canada) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
Diese Rezension stammt von: Post Captain (Aubrey-Maturin) (Taschenbuch)
Post Captain is the second in the Aubrey/Maturin series and perhaps the first written with the knowledge that it was part of a series. O'Brian's first novel in the series was published shortly after C.S. Forester's death and the publication of Pope's and Kent's first novels in their series of wooden ships and iron men. O'Brian found a different niche within the genre and one that ultimately led to his recognition as a serious author of historical novels. If one has read Pope or Kent and even Forester, then the reader might have some difficulty getting into O'Brian's novels. If one accepts that O'Brian is a longer read and that the emphasis is more on character and historicity than violent action then one can enjoy this novel thoroughly.

I read the first book in the series, Master and Commander, and was disappointed. I enjoyed Post Captain more. Perhaps that was due to knowing what to expect and perhaps it is because Post Captain is better than its predecessor. However, it is not your typical naval action adventure. In fact, the first few chapters sounded a bit like Pride and Prejudice from Mr. Darcy's perspective. The fact is that O'Brian writes well enough to pull it off. Post Captain does pick up when war is declared and Aubrey goes back to sea.

One area of conflict that I found strangely missing in Master and Commander was that between Aubrey and Maturin. I had expected that Maturin would be critical of Aubrey taking the ship into actions that caused wounds Maturin would have to treat. There is a serious conflict between the two in Post Captain although it's not over Aubrey's naval actions. Since the series has 18 more novels one knows that the conflict will be resolved.

The main problem that Aubrey faces in the novel is not the French navy but his own indebtedness and the inability to obtain a suitable command. Paradoxically, Aubrey is safe from creditors while at sea. The problems that a person faced while in debt in 1800 are explained well and the reader has great empathy with Aubrey.

The naval activities in Post Captain seem similar to those in Hornblower and the Hotspur to the point that the climactic action appears to correspond to the same point in history. While O'Brian did not appear to value the Hornblower novels greatly it is obvious that he owes Forester a debt of gratitude for creating the genre. Without Forester it is doubtful that O'Brian would have been able to develop his own unique niche and this excellent novel would not have been published.

5.0 von 5 Sternen One of the Great Novels of the Last 25 Years, 28. Oktober 1998
Von Jim Mann (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
Diese Rezension stammt von: Post Captain (Aubrey-Maturin) (Taschenbuch)
Patrick O'Brian's works have been compared to those of both Jane Austen and Homer. To those who haven't read the series, this might seem like a strange juxtoposition. But anyone who has read Post Captain understands this. O'Brian's novels are a marvel, mixing the story of life at sea with the goings on in 1800 Britain. Throughout the series, we see most of the world and experience the life of many characters. And all the while O'Brian develops two of the most vivid and well done characters in fiction: Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin.

Although the series itself starts out in Master and Commander, it really takes off in Post Captain. I've talked to several readers who's reaction to the first book was that it was good but they weren't ready to rush out that night and buy the next half dozen. After Post Captain, they're hooked, and procede to devour the entire series.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Three, three the rivals, 12. Januar 2005
Everything I wrote about "Master and Commander" is equally true for "Post Captain": It's intelligent, well-written, suspenseful, witty, and above all it feels amazingly authentic, as if the author had a time machine.
But this book is even more diverse: There are some Austen-esque chapters when the Captain and the Doctor are shipless during the peace of Amiens, and we're introduced to the two most important women in the series. There are battles more spectacular than any in "Master and Commander". We learn more about the English law of debt than most readers will ever need to know, but since we're learning it through Jack Aubrey's attempts to avoid imprisonment, it is never boring.
Captain Harte is back as an Admiral, Stephen invents a Garment That Partakes of the Nature Both of the Guernsey Frock and of the Free and Easy Pantaloon, and Jack travels through all of Spain without meeting any Spanish ladies. You have to read it yourself.
