| Aubrey-Maturin series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4105 words) |
 | 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). |
| A young female convict, Clarissa Harvill, is smuggled aboard HMS Surprise in Sydney by midshipman Oakes, to whom she is subsequently married by Aubrey. |
| Clarissa Oakes was published in the US as The Truelove, which is the name of a ship in the novel, but may also refer to the woman. |
