	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Blue at the Mizzen (novel)
		Blue at the Mizzen (1999) is a novel by Patrick O'Brian, the twentieth (and final) book in the Aubrey–Maturin series.
		The novel is experimental in that it is not a tale of identifying the killers—they have openly announced their intentions—but is instead a description of how and why the bystanders and participants handle their parts in the crime.
		In its general form, the novel of manners is concerned with subtle nuances of behavior and standards of correctness, usually in upper-class life.

		O’Brian’s novels are set during the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815), when French leader Napoleon I waged war on much of the rest of Europe.
		Experimental novels can be challenging to read because they represent reality in unusual ways, but they also demonstrate one of the novel’s greatest strengths—its ability to encompass an almost endless variety of approaches.
		The novel is experimental in that it is not a tale of identifying the killers—they have openly announced their intentions—but is instead a description of how and why the bystanders and participants handle their parts in the crime.

	Aubrey-Maturin series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The novel gives further scope to Maturin's role as both a secret agent (in which he uses propaganda effectively to support the campaign) and as a naturalist (in which he is seen collecting relics of the extinct birds the Dodo and the Solitaire).
		The Blue Ensign, Red Ensign, or White Ensign indicated an admiral's rank and squadron assignment, and they were formally referred to as "Rear Admiral of the Red" or "Vice Admiral of the White".
		A blue ensign at the mizzen-mast was the flag of the Rear Admiral of the Blue, the lowest flag rank in the Royal Navy of the early 19th century.

	BookPage Fiction Review: Blue at the Mizzen
		REVIEW BY J.W. Patrick O'Brian's publisher is saying Blue at the Mizzen may be the last in his superb series of historical fiction, and we can only hope that is not so.
		Still, we have to admit that it could not last forever.
		After all, O'Brian is well into his eighties, and the subject matter -- the Napoleonic wars -- has, with this 20th novel, come finally to an end, with Napoleon safely on St. Helena and Aubrey and Maturin fomenting revolution in Chile and sailing the frigid seas off Cape Horn.

	Amanda Foreman article for The New York Times
		"Blue at the Mizzen," the 20th volume of Patrick 0' Brian's saga of heroism and friendship on the high seas, is a welcome return to form.
		"Blue at the Mizzen" is an intricate, multifaceted work, one of those rare novels that actually bear up under close scrutiny.
		Every novel is typified by literary and classical allusions, linguistic jokes, historical references and, most important, O'Brian's ability to weave 18th-century cadences into his writing without sacrificing modern usage.

		Patrick O'Brians Royal Navy is alive and well in Blue At The Mizzen.I read it as a preface to his final partial novel.
		I have read all of the Jack Aubrey novels some twice and three times over the years and Blue At The Mizzen is one of the best.
		But "Blue at the Mizzen" as a conclusion is so satisfying that I'm happy with it--though I could wish for the series to have gone on forever.

	Blue at the Mizzen
		"Blue at the Mizzen" may possibly be the last novel in the series, if what Patrick O'Brian said a few years ago is true.
		I hope that is not the case but if it is, then "Blue at the Mizzen" would serve well enough as the end.
		I don't claim that "Blue at the Mizzen" is the finest book in the series, but I found it solidly satisfying, with a good number of the typical small scenes of delight which characterize the O'Brian novels.

		It was as perfect an ending as could have been, and although the fates of Aubrey and Maturin are now left to the imagination, thanks to O'Brien, we have a rich treasury with which to create their final outcomes.
		The unfinished 21st novel is due for publication later this year ; I am hopeful that we are able to at least see where the outcome of this fine series was intended.
		Several of these stories can be enjoyed as psychological novels, as adventure stories, as suspense novels, and even one as a legal thriller.

	From Chile With Love / Aubrey and Maturin set sail to help revolutionaries fight against Spain
		``Blue at the Mizzen,'' the 20th volume in this series, finds O'Brian remarkably unimproved from the first book, which is to say in top form after a perceptible falling off of energy and authorial relish evident in some of the shorter books in the middle of the series.
		``Blue'' is filled with exuberance and humor, and a writer's palpable delight at exercising his finest muscles.
		The reader's head fills with this archaic language detailing the minutiae of life aboard ship and the talk of her crew, until some wonderful, wordy alchemy occurs, and one is there in that long-ago time and utterly particular place.

		Blue at the Mizzen, the title of Patrick O'Brian's novel, is a reference to the promotion to Admiral's rank which Captain Aubrey is hoping for - he would be entitled, as the most junior flag officer, to hoist a blue ensign at the mizzen masthead.

		The 20th episode, Blue at the Mizzen, is another swashbuckling adventure on the high seas, complete with romantic escapades from smoggy London to Sierra Leone, diplomacy, espionage, the intricacies of warfare, and imperial brinksmanship.
		We can only hope that the elderly author will favor us with at least one more novel, so that his avid followers can avoid their own form of short commons.
		But with "Blue at the Mizzen," I can close the books reluctantly for the second or third or fourth time..., and rest assured that in the universe of the imagination, Aubrey and Maturin forever sail the Napoleonic seas just beyond my view, while Killick fusses and Sophie frets.
