The Yellow Admiral
Patrick O'Brian
Historical Fiction / Fiction
Life ashore may once again be the undoing of Jack Aubrey in The Yellow Admiral, Patrick O'Brian's best-selling novel and eighteenth volume in the Aubrey/Maturin series. Aubrey, now a considerable though impoverished landowner, has dimmed his prospects at the Admiralty by his erratic voting as a Member of Parliament; he is feuding with his neighbor, a man with strong Navy connections who wants to enclose the common land between their estates; he is on even worse terms with his wife, Sophie, whose mother has ferreted out a most damaging trove of old personal letters. Even Jack's exploits at sea turn sour: in the storm waters off Brest he captures a French privateer laden with gold and ivory, but this at the expense of missing a signal and deserting his post. Worst of all, in the spring of 1814, peace breaks out, and this feeds into Jack's private fears for his career.
Fortunately, Jack is not left to his own devices. Stephen Maturin returns from a mission in France with the news that the Chileans, to secure their independence, require a navy, and the service of English officers. Jack is savoring this apparent reprieve for his career, as well as Sophie's forgiveness, when he receives an urgent dispatch ordering him to Gibraltar: Napoleon has escaped from Elba.

Every scenario has been considered, every contingency planned out to the nth degree, but she knows no battle plan survives the first shot and can’t escape the queasy feeling she’s overlooked something obvious, something that could make all the difference. Months of captivity taught her just how nasty and tricky pirates can be, and that was before they had the perfect reason for revenge. What will they do next?By the end of the next ice age, all that remains of the once great, world-spanning human civilisation are myths and ancient, inexplicable artefacts lying at the feet of melting glaciers. Thanks to the red-hot Heat Tree reefs that keep the ice at bay, the lands above the Gulf of Mexico are some of the few places still warm enough to support life. On the western shores of the Gulf is Port Isabel, a town conceived and built by owls who mysteriously vanished hundreds of years before without even bothering to say goodbye. The animals that live there are industrious, peaceful and vegetarian; except for those that aren't, which is where all the trouble starts.

The Admiral
Morgan Karpiel
Tristan Satorin, the once fearsome Admiral of his Majesty's North Fleet, has accepted command of a private submersible venture on a mission to recover the treasures buried in the sunken Temple of the Oracle, on the deserted island of Delphia. When the floundering sub is swept into an underwater cave system, he quickly discovers that the island is far from deserted, and the beautiful woman sent to meet him has a mission of her own. Jia has never seen an outsider, much less a man. She has lived as a hunter and a guardian of the Oracle, her life spent fishing the reef and observing the ancient rituals of her culture. Like all of the Oracle 'psychic daughters', she expects to venture into the modern world and choose a temporary mate for the rite of procreation. She does not expect to have that mate chosen for her by the Oracle herself, or for him to appear in the island's watery caves as a broad-shouldered soul of war, still reeling from the tragedies of his past. As she pursues her sacred imperative, she realizes that Tristan is much more than the Oracle would have her believe, and that she desires not only the strength of his body, but his heart. To save his life, she will betray her own people. To save his soul, she will kindle his fierce passion and match it with her own.

His fleet has been shattered and with it his dreams of conquest. Yet the Emperor and his court fight desperately on, and the price of invading Imperious Prime remains too terrible to contemplate.

The French Admiral l-2
Part #2 of "Lewrie" series by Dewey Lambdin
Alan Lewrie is a scandalous young rake whose amorous adventures ashore lead to his being shipped off to the Navy. Lewrie finds that he is a born sailor, although life at sea is a stark contrast to the London social whirl to which he had become accustomed. As his career advances, he finds the life of a naval officer suits him. From Library Journal This second novel in a new sea adventure series continues the story of Alan Lewrie, the reluctant British midshipman. This time, Alan finds himself involved in the battle of Yorktown during the American Revolution. His unhappiness with the Royal Navy also begins to be replaced by a sense of dedication and duty. The story is technically correct and historically accurate, but sea genre fans will be disappointed that so much of the action takes place on land. Though Lewrie observes the battle of the Chesapeake, he is on duty with the defenders of Yorktown and barely sees his ship during half the novel. Still, this is an excellent and exciting adventure in what promises to be the best naval series since C.S. Forester.
