	Aubrey-Maturin series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aubrey is a genius at sea and with practical matters but has large gaps in his understanding of everything else, and should never be allowed within twelve fathoms of a metaphor.
		En route to Australia, the Leopard is becalmed and devastated by a plague, engaged in a chilling life-or-death chase by the Dutch 74 gun Waakzaamheid, gravely wounded by an Antarctic iceberg, and stranded on Desolation Island, a frigid, uninhabited archipelago in the southern Indian Ocean.
		Aubrey is convicted, dismissed from the Royal Navy, and sentenced to stand in the pillory.

		Jack Aubrey's first command, described in Master and Commander is the brig-rigged "sloop" HMS Sophie, operating out of Port Mahon in the western Mediterranean.
		Jack's success in raiding the French port, despite the loss of the Polychrest, bring him promotion in Post Captain to the rank of, naturally, post captain and the temporary command of the 38-gun frigate HMS Lively.
		Again through the action of Stephen Maturin at the Admiralty, Jack Aubrey is given command of the 38-gun frigate HMS Boadicea, with the prospects of being commodore of a squadron of ships to be directed against Mauritius and the nearby islands in the Indian Ocean.

	The Ships of Jack Aubrey - Three
		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.
		After his return to England aboard the Surprise, Jack Aubrey in The Commodore is appointed as commodore to command a squadron off the coast of West Africa, with secret orders to proceed to Ireland later to intercept a planned French invasion.
		The Pomone was a genuine Royal Navy ship and one that was familiar to Jack Aubrey; she had been the French Astree, captured at the surrender of Mauritius in The Mauritius Campaign.

		And as for the idea of prim and proper officers, Aubrey's mob are hard-drinking dinner party guests who release the tensions of months at sea with drinking until sobriety is well over the horizon.

	Entertainment Music Store :: Master and Commander (Aubrey Maturin Series) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Jack Aubrey, captain of the British naval sloop Sophie, is a splendid combination of swashbuckler, glutton, and loyal soldier, as likely to stumble drunkenly over his feet and tongue on land as he is to tackle an enemy ship twice the Sophie's size.
		Jack is depicted as something of a buffoon on land, but a natural warrior at sea; an amalgamation of the greatest British naval heroes of the time.
		A small 14-gun sloop-of-war, the fictional Sophie under Captain Aubrey becomes the terror of the Mediterranean, and garners her captain the nickname of "Lucky Jack Aubrey." The prose is totally immersive, bringing the reader into the age through language taken directly from the Regency period.

		In the very first scene of the Aubrey novels, Jack Aubrey meets his constant companion throughout the series, the physician Stephen Maturin who sails with him usually as surgeon, sometimes as a guest.
		Aubrey's delight in taking prizes, and his calling off of an action against the Gloire (she runs away to windward and can point much closer to the wind than the brig) is miread by his first lieutenant, James Dillon, as meaning that Aubrey is "shy".
		Aubrey attempts to out-sail them, jettisoning guns and water and at one point doubling back through the line, but fails and is taken.

		The twenty books in the Patrick O'Brian canon featuring the lives and adventures of Captain Jack Aubrey and his confidant, naval surgeon Stephen Maturin, have been lauded across the world for their blend of classic storytelling, historical accuracy, and inspired characterizations.
		Lavery's new book, "Jack Aubrey's Commands: A Historical Companion to the Naval World of Patrick O'Brian", is quite evidently tied to the release of the film "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World", based upon O'Brian's novels -- the book's foreword, after all, was written by Peter Weir.
		While the sub-title of this book relates it to Jack Aubrey's world, this book is equally at home in understanding the world of C. Forester and indeed to the real world of of the Royal Navy of the time.

		In the story, Jack Aubrey pursues the Acheron, the Surprise rounds the Cape, the weather worsens, the seas and winds grow merciless – and the biggest challenge Jack has ever faced lies ahead: the full fury of a massive storm – on a 120-foot square-rigger.
		Jack Aubrey’s body is a veritable roadmap of scar tissue, and in preparation for a specific scene, Russell Crowe and his makeup artist rigorously researched wounds the captain would have acquired on his adventures leading up to The Far Side of the World.

		I DID take out my frustrations on Hornblower and Aubrey though (three times each), but, they always came back, as if to mock me! I'm also very glad that you are aware of the problem and are working on it.
		Aubrey & Hornblower may be the first "effective" allies a player runs into, and having them revive after death also allows a person to experiment with them, and try them in different situations--although a "saved game" will do almost the same thing.
		To answer your question, yes, it used to be possible for me to hire/fire Aubrey and Hornblower by talking to them, at least, up until the point that I killed Marijn; that's because their avatars were present on the island.
