The Far Side of the World

By: Patrick O'Brian

Narrated by: Tim Pigott-Smith

The 10th installment in the Aubrey/Maturin series

The War of 1812 continues, and Jack Aubrey sets course for Cape Horn on a mission after his own heart: intercepting a powerful American frigate outward bound to play havoc with the British whaling trade. Stephen Maturin has fish of his own to fry in the world of secret intelligence. Disaster in various guises awaits them in the Great South Sea and in the far reaches of the pacific: typhoons, castaways, shipwrecks, murder, and criminal insanity.©1984 Patrick O'Brian; (P)2000 Random House, Inc.; Random House AudioBooks, a Division of Random House, Inc.

Narrator should be in another line of work

it's sad that Audible doesn't have this book narrated by Patrick Tull. if it's not narrated by Tull, it's not Aubrey/Maturin.

Orators

I may be prejudiced but Tull is the better orator for these books for myself I will try to find them with his narration

terrible narrator

I can not express strongly enough how much this narrator takes away from the story. there is another set of these books available here. I would advise you choose those instead.

Abridged

This version is abridged is abridged is abridged is abridged is still really truly abridged
