|  | The Unknown Shore by Patrick O'Brian, Patrick Tull
O'Brian's first novel about the sea, THE GOLDEN OCEAN, took inspiration from Commodore Anson's circumnavigation of the globe in 1740. In THE UNKNOWN SHORE, O'Brian returns to this rich source. One of the ships was parted from the squadron in the fierce storms off Cape Horn, struggled alone up the coast of Chile and soon smashed on the rocks. A surplus of rum, dwindling stores of food, and a hated captain soon drove the men to drunkenness and mutiny. After many months of extreme hardship, the survivors reached safety in Valparaiso. This is the background for the saga of midshipman Jack Byron and surgeon's mate Tobias Barrow. AUTHOR: Patrick O'Brian, Patrick Tull
