Napoleon has been defeated at Waterloo, but the ensuing peace becomes ugly for Captain Jack Aubrey, with violent celebrations of the English sailors in Gibraltar and the desertion of nearly half his crew. 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 Jack and Stephen are to help Chile assert her independence from Spain. The delay for repairs reaps a harvest of strange consequences, and then the South American expedition is a desperate affair, starting with near disaster in the ice-choked seas far south of the Horn. In the end, Jack, again the daring frigate commander of old, stakes all on a desperate solo night raid against the might of the Spanish viceroy in Peru.

Great, of course. You will like this logical end to the series. [Think twice before you read "21" as it leaves one up in the air. As it is incomplete you my feel responsible for all the characters and relationships for a long time. "21" is for real fans.]
I think Simon Vance does a great job - and his delivery is very nuanced, with every voice very distinct. Outstanding series - I have listened to all 21 on my way to and from work, and they made the ride much more enjoyable.
Sorry to Blackstone, but Patrick Tull does the best version of narrating this series. This is one of the best series of books/audio books I have ever read/listened to. If someone is going to buy this audio book for someone else or has already been listening to this series, then you need to switch to the Patrick Tull version by Recorded Books. He does a superb job and will not be touched by any competition ever. The narrator of this book does not express Aubrey in a manner that meets my expectations.Blackstone is a good audio book company, but this one audio book missed the mark.
