Book
Blue at the Mizzen
First published 1999
After Waterloo, Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin sail for Chile with a dual mission: survey the coast and assist the independence movement against Spain. Jack helps organise a new naval force while Stephen manages political alliances and seeks recovery from recent loss.
The campaign requires covert landings, uncertain local support and action against Spanish shipping. Service under Bernardo O’Higgins gives Jack one final route toward flag rank as the series moves beyond the Napoleonic Wars into the struggles for South American independence.
