The first volume in the beloved Alan Lewrie Naval Adventures series by Dewey Lambdin

At the height of the American Revolution, our hero Alan Lewrie (seventeen-year-old bastard son of Sir Hugo Willoughby) has been shipped off to the Royal Navy to be out of sight and, all had hoped, lost at sea. Instead he took to the sea and ships, to war and leadership. And leaving his boyhood behind, he sets off on a brilliant naval career.

Raves and Reviews

You could get addicted to this series. Easily.

– New York Times Book Review

. . . stacks up well against C.S. Forester’s Hornblower and Alexander Kent’s Bolitho.

– Library Journal

If Horatio Hornblower is the gentleman’s sailor and Jack Aubrey is the thinking man’s sailor, Lewrie is of and for the working class. Pugnacious and randy, he’s a refreshing sea breeze.

– San Jose Mercury News

. . . this auspicious beginning of a series has a very modern sensibility.

– Publishers Weekly

. . . his portrayal of the foul conditions aboard the creaking, uncomfortable vessels of the 18th century are well done. For readers who enjoy action and adventure, this one is sure to please.

– Macon Telegraph

Stunning naval adventure, reeking of powder and mayhem. I wish I had written this series.

– Bernard Cornwell, Author, Excalibur / Sharpe's Fury

The brilliantly stylish American master of salty-tongued British naval tales.
