Like New Fiction Master and Commander Paperback by Patrick O'Brian

Great gift for a man who loves to read about war and military

Retails New $10 and up

An attractive movie-tie-in jacket for the release of the motion picture Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World starring Russell Crowe: "The best sea story I have ever read."
--Sir Francis Chichester

This, the first in the splendid series of Jack Aubrey novels, establishes the friendship between Captain Aubrey, R.N., and Stephen Maturin, ship's surgeon and intelligence agent, against a thrilling backdrop of the Napoleonic wars. Details of a life aboard a man-of-war are faultless rendered: the conversational idiom of the officers in the ward room and the men on the lower deck, the food, the floggings, the mysteries of the wind and the rigging, and the roar of broadsides as the great ships close in battle. It is the dawn of the nineteenth century; Britain is at war with Napoleon's France. When Jack Aubrey, a young lieutenant in Nelson's navy, is promoted to captain, he inherits command of HMS Sophie, an old, slow brig unlikely to make his fortune. But Captain Aubrey is a brave and gifted seaman, his thirst for adventure and victory immense. With the aid of his friend Stephen Maturin, ship's surgeon and secret intelligence agent, Aubrey and his crew engage in one thrilling battle after another, their journey culminating in a stunning clash with a mighty Spanish frigate against whose guns and manpower the tiny Sophie is hopelessly outmatched.

What is "GIN"?

Feb 19th, 2014 at 8:00:48 PM PST by

It means to Get It Now
as in paying immediately the price suggested
and not waiting for the auction to close

Feb 19th, 2014 at 11:27:28 PM PST by

Oh. Ok

If you cannot afford the GIN or would rather not spend all that money just bid normally and it's likely it will sell for a lower amount than the GIN. Just make sure you are bidding until the very end because you can get outbid even in the last minute or so. Looks like you are giving it a good fight :) Good luck!
