Following his dismissal from the Royal Navy (a false accusation), he has earned reinstatement through his daring exploits as a privateer, brilliantly chronicled in The Letter of Marque. Now he is to shepherd Stephen Maturin-his friend, ship's surgeon, and sometimes intelligence agent-on a diplomatic mission to prevent links between Bonaparte and the Malay princes which would put English merchant shipping at risk.The journey of the Diane encompasses a great and satisfying diversity of adventures. Maturin climbs the Thousand Steps of the sacred crater of the orangutans; a killer typhoon catches Aubrey and his crew trying to work the Diane off a reef; and in the barbaric court of Pulo Prabang a classic duel of intelligence agents unfolds: the French envoys, well entrenched in the Sultan's good graces, against the savage cunning of Stephen Maturin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539139002656,"sku":"NEW039330907X","price":21.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/918wXo7NLYL.jpg?v=1777485873","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-thirteen-gun-salute-aubreymaturin-book-13-039330907x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
