"One of the best novelists since Jane Austen…The Hundred Days may be the best installment yet." ―Philadelphia Inquirer

Napoleon, escaped from Elba, pursues his enemies across Europe like a vengeful phoenix. If he can corner the British and Prussians before their Russian and Austrian allies arrive, his genius will lead the French armies to triumph at Waterloo. In the Balkans, preparing a thrust northwards into Central Europe to block the Russians and Austrians, a horde of Muslim mercenaries is gathering. They are inclined toward Napoleon because of his conversion to Islam during the Egyptian campaign, but they will not move without a shipment of gold ingots from Sheik Ibn Hazm which, according to British intelligence, is on its way via camel caravan to the coast of North Africa. It is this gold that Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin must at all costs intercept. The fate of Europe hinges on their desperate mission.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"I haven’t read novels [in the past ten years] except for all of the Patrick O’Brian series. It was, unfortunately, like tripping on heroin. I started on those books and couldn’t stop."
― E. O. Wilson, Boston Globe

"The best historical novels ever written… On every page Mr. O’Brian reminds us with subtle artistry of the most important of all historical lessons: that times change but people don’t, that the griefs and follies and victories of the men and women who were here before us are in fact the maps of our own lives."
― Richard Snow, New York Times Book Review

"It has been something of a shock to find myself―an inveterate reader of girl books―obsessed with Patrick O’Brian’s Napoleonic-era historical novels… What keeps me hooked are the evolving relationships between Jack and Stephen and the women they love."
― Tamar Lewin, New York Times

"I devoured Patrick O’Brian’s 20-volume masterpiece as if it had been so many tots of Jamaica grog."
― Christopher Hitchens, Slate

"I fell in love with his writing straightaway, at first with Master and Commander. It wasn’t primarily the Nelson and Napoleonic period, more the human relationships. …And of course having characters isolated in the middle of the goddamn sea gives more scope. …It’s about friendship, camaraderie. Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin always remind me a bit of Mick and me."
― Keith Richards

"[O’Brian’s] Aubrey-Maturin series, 20 novels of the Royal Navy in the Napoleonic Wars, is a masterpiece. It will outlive most of today’s putative literary gems as Sherlock Holmes has outlived Bulwer-Lytton, as Mark Twain has outlived Charles Reade."
― David Mamet, New York Times

"The Aubrey-Maturin series… far beyond any episodic chronicle, ebbs and flows with the timeless tide of character and the human heart."
― Ken Ringle, Washington Post

"O’Brian’s Aubrey-Maturin volumes actually constitute a single 6,443-page novel, one that should have been on those lists of the greatest novels of the 20th century."
― George Will

"Gripping and vivid… a whole, solidly living world for the imagination to inhabit."
― A. S. Byatt

"There is not a writer alive whose work I value over his."
― Stephen Becker, Chicago Sun-Times

"Patrick O’Brian is unquestionably the Homer of the Napoleonic wars."
― James Hamilton-Paterson, New Republic

About the Author

One of our greatest contemporary novelists, Patrick O’Brian is the author of the twenty volumes of the best-selling Aubrey/Maturin series, as well as many other books, including Testimonies, The Golden Ocean, The Unknown Shore, and biographies of Joseph Banks and Picasso.

Long time Patrick O’Brian reader. This copy has very thin paper with extensive print through, and the colors of the cover are completely off. Very disappointing and this book is going back. Buyer beware!

I would never have thought I could be enthralled by historical fiction set during the Napoleonic wars but I have read this series several times and taught one of them and never tire of them. This novel, like all of them, has wonderful detail, writing and character portrayal.

A great, great author and a classic 1800's British Naval sea tale that takes you from modern day to the 1800s period flawlessly. If you're ignorant of the reason why the English Empire dominated the seas in the 1700's and 1800's, here's a great place to learn the answer.

These are great, worldly stories with real-life intrigue. Not fanciful. And not only focused on battles. His stories much more represent the realities of the period. Long travel times, boredom, hardship, excitement, lost opportunity, and personal relationships.

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2013

I had grown a bit tired of the Bolitho series, which was repetitious in plot development. O'Brian was suggested as an alternative to the same historical period and was a pleasant read. I have to find the earlier versions to understand characters better, but the plot was lively and innovative. I definitely will recommend the series to my sons.

I am currently reading this book, having read the previous 18 in the series. The ongoing stories are superb and I will be extremely sad to reach the end. I have no doubt that I will eventually read them all again - they are that good.

This series is a great collection of books of the Napoleonic Wars related to the English Royal Navy. The first 2 books are a little slow, but then it progresses very nicely into a great collection.
