Publisher: ISIS Audio Books
Author: Patrick O'Brian
Audio lenght: 11 hours and 16 min.
Treason's Harbour opens in Malta, where the captain's "small, sweet-sailing frigate" is undergoing repairs. Stephen Maturin soon assumes the centre stage, for the dockyards and saloons of Malta are alive with Napoleon's agents, particularly the most important French agent in the Mediterranean, Lesueur - a man with a long memory and a taste for revenge. When that revenge takes the shape of the delicate and distracting Mrs Fielding, who also attracts the ever-wandering eye of Jack Aubrey, Stephen's sensibilities are severely tested and the Admiralty's intelligence network is compromised. Maturin's cunning is the sole bulwark against sabotage of Aubrey's daring mission.The narrative turns from nefarious intrigues in Malta to an amazing mission in the Red Sea and back again. In his vivid descriptions of everything from a trek across the fly-infested desert to a horrible death in the shark-infested sea, O'Brian conjures up another world that is utterly convincing.
