Description

The first novel Patrick O'Brian ever wrote about the sea - and the precursor to the famous Aubrey-Maturin series.The Golden Ocean is the first novel Patrick O'Brian ever wrote about the sea.

The novel shares the same sense of excitement and the rich humour of the Aubrey-Maturin novels, invoking the eloquent style and attention to historical detail that O'Brian readers admire so much.The protagonist of this story is Peter Palafox, son of a poor Irish parson, who signs on as a midshipman, never before having seen a ship.

He is a fellow who would have delighted the young Stephen Maturin or Jack Aubrey ... and quarrelled with them as well. Together with his life-long friend Sean, Peter sets out to seek his fortune, embarking on a journey of danger, disappointment, foreign lands and excitement.Written in 1956, this is a tale certain to please not only the many admirers of O'Brian, but any reader with an adventurous soul.
