The article has a tinge of shadenfreude and reads like a clever Steven Colbert rant, but the punchline is literally the lethal level of truth - see Rosa Brooks column in the LATimes here.

Captain Jack Aubrey and Spymaster Stephen Maturin are the matching pieces in this historical novel. It is remarkable that English literature has two series, Horatio Hornblower and Aubrey + Maturin both set in the same era and of such great quality. Desolation Island tells you why the era of the dawning Enlightenment, European Wars and Industrial Revolution was so tempestuous... and on a prison ship voyage to Australia. Such drama!
