H.M.S. Surprise – Patrick O'Brian

Do lektury cyklu książek o przygodach Kapitana Jacka Aubreya i Doktora Stephena Maturina nie trzeba mnie specjalnie zachęcać. O ile to możliwe staram się podążać za historią i czytać wszystkie części w kolejności przewidzianej przez Autora. Czasem jednak zdarzają się niespodzianki.

And the color that was the most attractive in this particular moment was as gold as money paid for the prizes. Captain Aubrey was far from the thought of retirement, but he had some land plans in mind. Having that golden color on his side was truly important for the plans to come true.
But that wasn't the only surprise...
