We focus on HMS Surprise by the Folio Society, but this is a special episode about the Royal Naval world created by Patrick O'Brian in 1970 and as featured in the Hollywood movie starring Russell Crowe. I decided to include this episode, originally recorded as part of my (now defunct) Library Discoveries show but as it features a spy known as Stephen Maturin, it also qualifies for Spies of London.
