There are legions of us who gladly ship out time and time again under Captain Aubrey." -The New YorkerNapoleon escapes from Elba, and the fate of Europe hinges on a desperate mission: Stephen Maturin must ferret out the French dictators secret link to the powers of Islam, and Jack Aubrey must destroy it.Boldly conceived and brilliantly executed, The Hundred Days is Patrick OBrians most ambitious novel yet, and surely one of his most rewarding. In this climactic - but not final! - adventure in the celebrated Aubrey/Maturin series, O'Brian succeeds in grafting his familiar, ever compelling principal characters to an historical event of tumultuous significance: the final defeat of Napoleon. The result is entertainment, excitement, and an intriguing exercise in what if . . . history, all encompassed in a magnificently rounded and complex work of fiction.
Napoleon escapes from Elba, and the fate of Europe hinges on a desperate mission: Stephen Maturin must ferret out the French dictator's secret link to the powers of Islam, and Jack Aubrey must destroy it. Napoleon, like a vengeful phoenix, pursues his enemies across Europe. If he can corner the British and Prussians before their Russian and Australian allies arrive, his genius will lead the French armies to triumph at Waterloo. Boldly conceived and brilliantly executed, The Hundred Days is Patrick O'Brian's most ambitious novel yet, and surely one of his most rewarding. In this climactic -- but not finali -- adventure in the celebrated Aubrey/Maturin series O'Brian succeeds in grafting his familiar, ever compelling principal characters to an historical event of tumultuous significance: the final defeat of Napoleon, The result is entertainment, excitement, and an Intriguing exercise in "what if..".history, all encompassed into a magnificently rounded and complex work of fiction.
| | Industry reviews | "[T]hese naval tales are blended into a larger panorama of Georgian society and politics, science, medicine, botany and the whole conspectus of contemporary Enlightenment knowledge about the natural world....Naval actions off the Adriatic coast, strenuous secret journeys into the interior North African wastes by Maturin and a decisive battle to seize a gold convoy attempting to run the Strait of Gibraltar are typical high points of this tale, though always interspersed with those special O'Brian features."
New York Times Book Review - Paul Kennedy (10/18/1998)
