	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.
		The novel provided much of the overall plot structure for the 2003 Peter Weir film, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, though the USS Norfolk was changed to the French privateer Acheron, and episodes were also taken from other books in the series, including Master and Commander and HMS Surprise.

		The amount of lava gushing from individual volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io dwarfs earthly comparisons, and the pace at which lava is repainting Io's surface suggests a novel technique for determining the relative ages of surface regions there.
		Ionian volcanoes Monan, Tupan, Prometheus, Culann and Zamama each produce one-third to one-half as much lava as Amirani-Maui does, Davies calculates.
		Estimates of the volume rate of an eruption are important for understanding what is happening under the surface and at the surface of each volcano.

		The mission of the book's title comes at the end, as Aubrey and Maturin are dispatched to help choose between three potential allies, all of whom are nominally Turkish, but quite independent minded.
		The plan is simple enough: pick the right leader to ally with and provide guns to them in exchange for (armed) help moving the French out of a nearby town.
		Neither escape is necessarily plausible, but there is certainly less 'life of the mind' in Forester's novels (which I love dearly).
