description: Read by Tim Pigott-SmithThree Cassettes, 5 HoursThe 20th and final installment in the Aubrey/Maturin series.Napoleon has been defeated at Waterloo, and the ensuing peace takes on an ugly complexion for Jack drunken, violent celebrations on the English sailors in Gibraltar; the desertion of nearly half his crew; and the sudden dimming of his own career prospects in a peacetime navy.  To cap it all off, the Surprise is nearly sunk in a shattering night collision on the first leg of her journey to South America, where Aubrey and Stephen Maturin are to help Chile assert her independence from Spain.  In the end, Jack's bold initiative to strike at the vastly superior Spanish fleet precipitates naval action that will determine both Chile's fate and his own.
