Patrick O` Brian`s Aubrey-Maturin tales are widely acknowledged to be the greatest series of historical novels ever written. Patrick O` Brian is regarded by many as the greatest historical novelist now writing. Post Captain, the second novel in his remarkable Aubrey/ Maturin series, led Mary Renault to write: ` Master & Commander raised dangerously high expectations; Post Captain triumphantly surpasses them.` This tale begins with Jack Aubrey arriving home from his exploits in the Mediterranean to find England at peace following the Treaty of Amiens. He & his friend Stephen Maturin, surgeon & secret agent, begin to live the lives of country gentlemen, hunting, entertaining & enjoying more amorous adventures. Their comfortable existence, however, is cut short when Jack is overnight reduced to a pauper with enough debts to keep him in prison for life.

Aubrey`s adventures in escaping from France & the debtors` prison will grip the reader as fast as his unequalled actions at sea. ...

Welcome to the Post-Truth era? a time in which the art of the lie is shaking the very foundations of democracy & the world as we know it. The Brexit vote; Donald Trump’s victory; the rejection of climate change science; the vilification of immigrants; all have been based on the power to evoke feelings & not facts. So what does it all mean & how can we champion truth in in a time of lies & ‘alternative facts’? In this eye-opening & timely book, Post-Truth is distinguished from a long tradition of political lies, exaggeration & spin. What is new is not the mendacity of politicians but the public’s response to it & the ability of new technologies & social media to manipulate, polarise & entrench opinion. Where trust has evaporated, conspiracy theories thrive, the authority of the media wilt & emotions matter more than facts. Now, one of the UK’s most respected political journalists, Matthew d’ Ancona investigates how we got here, why quiet resignation is not an option & how we can & must fight back. ...
