		I absolutely adore this series, but in some dissent from my fellow Aubrey-Maturin fans I find this to be one of the least interesting books in the series, though it has one of the most compelling endings in that leaves the crew of the Diane stranded on a deserted island in the South Pacific.
		Interestingly, this is one of the few novels in the series in which the title of the subsequent novels is mentioned.
		It is an easy conclusion to make, given Fox's constant target practice in the novel and the statement by Maturin that they were killed by rifle shot (Stephen prefers the pistol).

		After Jack and his crew are rescued early in The Nutmeg of Consolation from the site of the Diane's wreck, he assumes command of a captured Dutch 20-gun vessel that he renames as the Nutmeg of Consolation after one of the honorific names of a local sultan.
		Patrick O'Brian's notes for writing the novel indicate that he had two Royal Navy vessels in mind as possible models for the Nutmeg, although neither was a Dutch prize.
		Given the description in the novel, it seems likely that the Sixth Rate Camilla of the Sphinx class was the basic prototype of the Nutmeg.
