	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).
		Maturin is sent on a mission to the Baltic to persuade the Catalan garrison of the fortress at Grimsholm to defect.
		Maturin needs to maintain his identity as a simple ship's surgeon and naturalist, keeping his secrecy as a secret agent for the British, particularly since the current voyage of the Surprise is intended to deliver Maturin to Peru where he is to incite a revolution against the Spanish colonial government.

	Allegory Wrestling, or Desolation Island Decoded
		Stephen tells Sophie, "Jack must go away, grow used to himself as a man of means, and learn to swim on an even keel when he is ashore." (66) Like Jack's judgment, the steering gear of the Leopard, the stern-post and rudder pintles, is also flawed; its condition emphasizes Jack's trials during the voyage.
		Stephen procures physic and greenstuff and lands his convalescents with ministering angels, explaining that they "will be nursed not by the hags of Haslar but by Franciscans.
		Stephen's medical skills are exchanged for the use of the forge and the new rudder is attached.

		Lucky for Jack, his surgeon, Dr. Maturin, is also a British intelligence agent and after the Worcesteris severly damaged Jack, Stephen, and a rare hand-picked crew transfer to the Surprise,an old command of Jack's and one of his most loved ones.
		Maturin, like O'Brian, is a great naturalist, an Irishman, a former intelligence agent, and a linguist.
		At times I have noticed that if you put Maturin and Aubrey together they would make an ideal British officer, an intelligence agent, experienced seaman, and linguist all in one, so when they work together they are the ideal pairing.

		Jack Aubrey is the man of action, a sensing type who lives in the moment, feeling both joy and pain deeply, but not dwelling in it.
		Stephen Maturin is the intuitive, intellectual observer, sometimes brooding, other times almost coldly unfeeling.
		In the books, however, the reader spends more time in Stephen's head, since as the non-naval person he is the one constantly questioning naval jargon and customs.

		[Stephen] was not afraid for his skin, not afraid for himself: but presently his climbing body, now half-way up the shrouds, let him know for its own part it was in a state of rapidly increasing terror.
		Forty feet is no great height, but it seems far more lofty, aerial and precarious when there is nothing but insubstantial yielding ladder of moving ropes underfoot; and when Stephen was three parts of the way up cries of 'Belay' on deck showed that the staysails were set and their sheets hauled aft.
		Maturin claims that emotion and the expression of it are nearly the same thing, that if you somehow hinder the expression of emotion, you also limit that emotion.

	Review: Master And Commander (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Master and Commander is the first in the great series of novels featuring Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin, and is probably one of the finest sea stories ever written.
		At one point he has Mowet, a master’s mate, show Maturin round the vessel, and any time things are getting a little technical, we have Maturin to ask the questions we would ask if only we could.
		Maturin has been given the opportunity to explore the world, and carry out his work as an agent for Naval Intelligence in the company of a man who, whilst a complete booby ashore, is a tower of strength in his element, the sea.

		When the flogging was finally finished and he was taken to Dr. Maturin, Colin wasn't able to decide what part of him hurt the worst -- his striped back, his tender anus or the throbbing headache that seemed to border on a full-blown megrim.
		Maturin rubbed oil into his back and stared for a while into his eyes, noting the raised knot on his forehead and muttering all the while about the evils of grog.
		When Maturin did not seem impressed, he finally turned around and grabbed his ankles, exposing himself to the doctor.

		Dr. Maturin, on the other hand, is a naval and military novice, but is a man of considerable learning and hidden derring-do.
		And you will find yourself chuckling out loud as Maturin lectures Captain Jack on his obesity (let's agree that Hollywood was rather kind to Jack by casting Russell Crowe), or when Jack is pelted by a "biological missile" from one of the famed Apes of Gibraltar.
		Apart from Jack and Stephen, a host of other characters are introduced to the reader, and we become immersed in the life of the Sophie at sea, learning most of the sailors by name.

	RPGnet: The Inside Scoop on Gaming
		Set during the Napoleonic Wars, the books detail the friendship and naval career of Jack Aubrey, a large, good, enthusiastic and brilliant captain, and his surgeon Stephen Maturin, a dark, melancholy Irish-Catalan, who is a doctor, naturalist, and excellent spy for Britain against Napoleon.
		The strengths of the books lie not so much in plot, although when the action does come it is vivid and bloody, and Maturin's activities as a spy are thrillingly full of disguise, double-crossing, and murder, but in the richness of O'Brian's character-building, and the intricacies of his depiction of period life.
		Both Jack and Stephen come to seem both absolutely real and deeply mythic; I suspect that they are characters of such power that any subsequent work set in the Napoleonic Era is going to have to deal in some way with their shadows.
