An extensive biography of the Author of the Aubrey Maturin series of books that The New York Times Book Review called the greatest historical novels ever written. Patrick O?Brian was a very private man and few details of his background were available while he was living. Dean King is a good choice of biographers of O?Brian having written several companion works to the long series of O?Brian. In an in depth review of the authors early life and experiences he provides much insight into the source of the characters of Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin. If you have read the Aubrey Maturin works with pleasure, you will find this to be an excellent addition to your library.
