The second book Patrick OBrian wrote about the sea and a brilliant sequel to The Golden Ocean. As in The Golden Ocean, The Unknown Shore tells the tale of another ill-fated ship on Ansons expedition round the world the Wager. Parted from her squadron in the fearful storms off Cape Horn, the Wager struggles on alone up the ironbound coast of Chile, before she is driven onto rocks and sinks. The survivors include Jack Byron, a midshipman, and his eccentric protégé Toby, an alarmingly naive surgeons mate with a single-minded devotion to zoology.



Faced with a surplus of rum, a disappearing stock of food, and a hard, detested captain, the survivors soon descend into trouble of every kind, including drunkeness, mutiny and bloodshed. As they make their way northwards under the guidance of a band of stony and depraved Indians, they at last find safety and good treatment in Valparaiso.



Admirers of OBrians Aubrey-Maturin novels will see in Jack Byron a matter-of-fact, bluff precursor to the great Jack Aubrey. Whilst Toby, raging in Greek against a corrupt Member of Parliament, stripped by thieves in the Farthing Pie House, asking the Commodore to carry his snake, arousing the darkest suspicions in the Chilean Inquisition, is an amiable companion whose vagaries afford endless diversion on a hard and dramatic journey.

Arvustused

If OBrians novels have become a cult, this is because they are truly addictive. . . They are, quite magnificently, adventure yarns whose superb authenticity never distracts from the sheer thrill of the action. Caroline Moore, Sunday Telegraph



My hero is Patrick OBrian. Its basically impossible to write that well. David Mamet



One of the most compelling and brilliant novelists of his time . . . Beyond his superbly elegant writing, wit and originality, Patrick OBrian showed an understanding of the nature of a floating world at the mercy of the wind and the sea which has never been surpassed. Max Hastings, Evening Standard



Written with most engaging enthusiasm that cant fail to give pleasure to anybody who enjoys historical adventure flavoured with more than a dash of realism. The Sunday Times



Patrick OBrian brings depth to his sea-stories with outstanding dialogue, characterisation, humour and a golden thread of romance. You dont have to love books about naval battles to become entranced. Katie Fforde



The story has in it something like greatness. It is naive, matter-of-fact; tragic, richly funny; closely detailed but with a bold sweeping action. It goes on that very small shelf reserved for authors who, disregarding aptitudes spin a story out of the heart and soul of their experience and the joy of living. TLS



'As always, the author's erudition and humour are on displaythe attention to period speech and detail is uncompromising and while the cascades of natural love can be dizzying, both aficionados and newcomers will be swept up by the richness of Mr O'Brian's prodigious imagination.' Scott Veale, New York Times
