A classic Patrick OBrian novel, back in print after many years with three bonus tales of nautical adventure.

Newly orphaned Derrick is entrusted to the care of his gruff uncle Sullivan, Captain of The Wanderer. After surviving a killer typhoon on the South China Sea, and accompanied by their eccentric elderly cousin, they set off across land to discover the treasures of Central Asia.

Derrick befriends a fierce Mongol warrior and must help him battle a ruthless Chinese warlord. Given a gift of priceless jade, the group is pursued into the inhospitable mountains of Tibet where they are caught between fierce mountain monks and a terrifying unnamed creature that stalks them through the snow.

This special edition includes three bonus tales Noughts and Crosses, Twos Company & No Pirates Nowadays that are prequels to the adventure of The Road to Samarcand, and are published together for the very first time.
