Sobre este artículo
London: Collins, 1977. First Edition. First Printing Fine in dark green paper covered boards with gilt text stamping on the spine with the head and heel of the spine very faintly faded. There is a prior owner's name, date and price in ink on the first free end page. In a fine dust jacket with the price clipped from the front flap. The 4th volume in the Aubrey/Maturin canon which opens with Aubrey "on the beach" waiting for a command. After suffering through less than domestic bliss he finally is given command of a naval frigate and sent with secret orders to the Cape of Good Hope. "His ultimate destination is to capture the French island bases of Reunion and Mauritius in the Indian Ocean." A splendid copy!
