Summary/Review: The tenth book of the Aubrey/Matrin series finds the HMS Surprise rounding Cape Horn and sailing the Pacific in search of an American ship harassing whalers, the Norfolk. This book is one of the main sources for the film Master and Commander: Far Side of the World although there are some huge differences. I have to say I liked the movie better although I usually like the one I saw/read first.
