The King's Commission
An epic adventure full of peril on the high seas. 1782: Fresh from passing his Lieutenancy examination, Alan Lewrie is promoted to first officer aboard brig o’war Shrike. He is sent to the Caribbean, where the Royal Navy battles the French and Spanish. Despite his assignment, Lieutenant Lewrie just can’t help himself, chasing the attentions of the young Lucy Beaumont. But when ordered to carry diplomats to Florida’s Gulf Coast and form an alliance with the Creeks and Seminoles to resist the spread of a fledgeling US, Lewrie might just get into even more trouble... The King’s Commission is a rip-roaring tale perfect for fans of C.S. Forester and Julian Stockwin.
The Vulcan Hunter
If you had the key to the beginning and the end of the world as you knew it, what would you do with it? Would you open a door to know the truth or would you pray to have that knowledge stripped from your mind? That's the premise of the novel Dr. Peter Cashman has just finished reading. He thought it was a pretty good story, so he shares it with his father, a seismologist. His father agrees that it's an intriguing read. He also thinks it may not be a work of fiction. The earth is slowly being torn apart as Peter and his team race to find the author. Peter's dedication to the task hinges on a perilous premise surely some people can be saved from obliteration; otherwise, why was the story even ...
Reefs and Shoals
Pity poor Captain Alan Lewrie, Royal Navy! He's been wind-muzzled for weeks in Portsmouth, snugly tucked away with a Viscount's daughter, when Admiralty tears Lewrie away and order him to the Bahamas! At least his new orders allow Lewrie to form a small squadron and hoist his first broad pendant, and style himself a Commodore. Lewrie is to scour the shores of Cuba and Spanish Florida, the Keys and the Florida Straits in search of French and Spanish privateers which have been taking British merchantmen at an appalling rate. Lewrie is to be 'Diplomatic.' Diplomatic? Lewrie? Not bloody likely! To solve the problem and find the answers will put Lewrie in touch with old friends, old foes, and mor...
Havoc's Sword
The loveable but incorrigible rogue Captain Alan Lewrie is back to cut a wide and wicked swathe through the Caribbean in his eleventh adventure. It’s 1798, and Lewrie and his crew of the frigate Proteus have their work cut out for them. First Lewrie has rashly vowed to uphold a friend’s honour in a duel to the death. Secondly, he faces the horridly unwelcome arrival of HM Government’s Foreign Office Agents (out to use him as their cat’s paw in a scheme against the French). And lastly, he engineers the showdown with his arch foe and nemesis, the hideous ogre of the French Revolution’s Terror, that clever fiend Guillaume Choudas! We know Lewrie can fight, but can he be a diplomat too...
Sea of Grey
The past comes back to haunt our rakish captain in this swashbuckling historical naval adventure Alan Lewrie is still captain of the HMS Proteus, one of the British Navy's newest frigates. But Lewrie's amorous escapade comes back to haunt him when an unidentified individual writes to his wife Caroline, outlining some of the finer points in his illustrious past. But Lewrie already has his hands full as he and Proteus are assigned to the Caribbean Sea to intercept French and Dutch traders, only to become involved in the slaves' revolt in Haiti. Beset and distracted though he might be, it will take all of Lewrie's pluck, daring, skill, and his usual tongue-in-cheek deviousness, to navigate all the perils in a sea of grey. Tenth in The Alan Lewrie Naval adventures, Sea of Grey will appeal to fans of Iain Gale and George MacDonald Fraser. Praise for Dewey Lambdin ‘You could get addicted to this series. Easily’ New York Times Book Review 'The best naval series since C. S. Forester’ Library Journal ‘Fast-moving... A hugely likeable hero, a huge cast of sharply drawn supporting characters: there's nothing missing. Wonderful stuff’ Kirkus Reviews
