From Wikipedia, "The Yellow Admiral is the eighteenth historical novel in the Aubrey-Maturin series by English author Patrick O'Brian, first published in 1996. The story is set in the era of the Napoleonic Wars. The squadron dispersed, Captain Aubrey sails HMS Bellona on blockade duty around Brest, France, under an admiral who dislikes him for actions on land. Dr Maturin retrieves his family but not his fortune, and they settle in an empty wing of the Aubrey's family estate. As the war against Napoleon looks to be ending, Maturin works out a plan to keep Aubrey at sea on the Surprise to chart Chile's coast, while Maturin aids the Chilean independence movement. Aubrey suspends himself from the Navy List to avoid the worst career fate, being yellowed, set aside with no squadron, until his reputation can be salvaged." Wikipedia Read more
