‘You are in for the treat of your lives. Thank God for Patrick O’Brian: his genius illuminates the literature of the English language, and lightens the lives of those who read him.’ Kevin Myers, Irish Times
The Hundred Days is the long-awaited nineteenth novel in Patrick O’Brian’s best-selling series of Aubrey–Maturin tales. Following the extraordinary success of The Yellow Admiral, The Hundred Days is set in the days succeeding Napoleon’s escape from Elba. Aubrey and Maturin are in the thick of Europe’s attempt to prevent the French emperor from regaining his power; it is a novel enriched with huge excitement, action and grand naval battles. It is O’Brian at his best.
