Summary
Jack Aubrey returns from his duties protecting whalers off South America and is persuaded by a casual acquaintance to make investments in the City on the strength of supposedly certain information. This innocent decision ensnares him in the London criminal underground and in government espionage - the province of his friend Stephen Maturin. Is Aubrey's humiliation and the threatened ruin of his career a deliberate plot?

The best nautical, historical novels ever written
If you could sum up The Reverse of the Medal in three words, what would they be?
Gripping, accurate, superb
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Reverse of the Medal?
The scene where Jack Aubrey is placed in the stocks (framed for rigging the stock market) and is surrounded and protected by his fellow sailors. 'Hats, off!'
Which character – as performed by Ric Jerrom – was your favourite?
Probably Stephen Maturin, a very complex character and portrayed well.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, definitively, never a dull moment.
Any additional comments?
The 21 Aubrey-Maturin novels are essentially one continuous story. I would suggest starting with the first: Master & Commander and working through them in order. You won't be disappointed..

One of the best Jack and Maturin interactions.
This story builds an atmosphere with graceful pathos and promises a denoument some way down the road like treasure map discovered in an inherited escritoire. Joyful.

Excellent next chapter of these great books
Super story, nothing seems repetitive or unrealistic and if you want the best insights into all the books I highly recommend the ‘lubbers hole’ podcast. This breaks down each chapter and I have nothing to do with it, I’m just a massive fan and listen to a chapter then the podcast and get so much out of it. Enjoy

Just brilliant
Continuing the story, these books are fantastic. Of the time, friendship, duty and of course the storytelling is magnificent.

Brilliant from start to finish.
Having read the entire Aubrey/Maturin series many years ago I was concerned that I might find the repetition tedious. Not a bit of it, to be sure. Ric Jerrom's skilful performance brings the story to life and I shall continue to listen to the others, quite certain of hours of enjoyment.
