The untitled, unfinished novel, that is the topic of this book is presented here, would have been a chronicle of Jack Aubrey after he received the news that he had been elevated to flag rank: Rear Admiral of Blue Squadron with orders to sail to the South Africa station and was to have been a sequel to 'Blue at the Mizzen'. This new novel is presented with the typed version on the facing page and as a facsimilie of his manuscript (65 pp.) including marginal notes.
