Humerous but historical naval account of the Napoleonic Era
By A customer
The first of a growing series of books about a reluctant Royal Navy hero. I had previously read all of the later books in the series, with the exception of this book and the 2nd in the series, "the French Adirmal" (which is due for reprinting in '99), when I found this one. Thankfully it's being reprinted. It is quite humerous, and bawdy at times, but with plenty of naval action which takes place at the beginning of the American Revolution. Alan Lewry, the hero, is forced to join the Royal Navy at 17, due to some falsely accused improprieties (he was actually framed) which occured at home. Alan is whisked away into the rude and very different routines of shipboard life in the late 1700's, learning a new trade, while trying to live long enough to get back at the people who forced him into the navy. Every time he gets a leg up, so he thinks, his other leg is kicked out from beneath him. At times, it's better than the O'Brian series, only because it seems more real - with an added dose of humor. Although not written in the English spoken in the 18th century, it's far easier to follow. The action is brisk and brutal, as it must have been at the time. A great series, and if you don't mind the bawdyness, one well worth reading. There's plenty to laugh at and more adventure than you can wish for. Once started, it's really hard to put down. The series will grow on you. And you'll be buying them all and wishing Mr. Lambdin would come out with the next book.Greg Toth

Excellent mix of history and naval adventure
By A customer
I read a lot of military fiction, and this is by far the best British naval series I've ever read. I would call this "Flashman Goes to Sea," since it has the same sort of ribald approach and a scoundrel hero who succeeds in spite of himself. Written by an American, the series, especially in the first few novels, has a distinctly American point of view. I read with interest the review from the writer who was critical of the "homophobic" bias of the author. While I'll admit that the protagonist, Lewrie, is a homophobe, this is not out of character for him, as he has suffered from the perfidies of his half-sibling, who is gay, and at the time he seems shocked and disgusted by his apparently homosexual superior officer, he is still shy of his 20th birthday. I, on the other hand, liked the descriptions of life aboard ship; the strong battle scenes; the fact that Lewrie is not the perfect little hero; and the glimpses of British Colonial life in both America and the West Indies. For anyone who likes naval fiction, I heartily recommend this series. I have just started the series by Patrick O'Brian, and the Lewrie books are far more "modern" and exciting, at least to me.

Dont be put off!! This is just the start of a superb series.
By Wiltshire Bookworm
In this first chapter in the life of Dewey Lambden's character, Alan Lewrie, we are introduced to a complete rake-hell wastrel who, just in the opening chapters alone, is found in bed with his half-sister! At that point, I was tempted to put the book down (as my Father had), as it clearly wasn't going to be my cup of tea at all! How glad I am that I read on. The rather sordid introduction to this character is vital to our later understanding of the hardships he endured (in comparison with his former life as a rich spoiled brat) and how his character developed both as a man and as a commander of others, with trust and respect being hard earned each way.The story is exciting and a very worthy and enjoyable read. But this particular novel simply paves the way to Alan Lewrie's later life, loves and challenges. Even if you may start feeling a little uncomfortable about this character, I promise you won't be disappointed, and by the end of the second book you'll be hooked! I'm now clamouring for the 16th Lewrie adventure to be published in March 2010. Great stuff and a nice change to have an anti-hero - almost a naval version of Sharpe.
