Las reflexiones sobre las cualidades que debe tener un buen capitán, las observaciones sobre temas tan variados como el dinero, el sexo o el amor y la profundización en los aspectos más humanos de los personajes son algunos de los puntos fuertes de esta novela. Sin embargo, no carece de acción, sino más bien al contrario. 3ª entrega de la serie de novelas de tema naval. La escribió en 1973 y fue editada por edhasa en 1995. Patrick O'Brian está considerado como uno de los más célebres y prestigiosos cultivadores de novela histórica, y más específicamente de literatura naval. Es autor de una extensa obra narrativa en la que alternan la novela y el relato breve.

Recflections about the quality that a good captain must possess, obstervations about such matters as money, sex or love as well as focusing on the more human aspects of the characters are some of this novel's strongest points. However there is no lack of action, quite the contrary.
