About this product

Product Information

January 1801, and Captain Alan Lewrie, RN, known as "St. Alan the Liberator" for freeing (stealing!) a dozen black slaves on Jamaica to man his frigate years before, is at last being brought to trial for it, with his life on the line. At the same time, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, and Prussia are forming a League of Armed Neutrality, to Napoleon Bonaparte's delight, to deny Great Britain their vital exports, even if it means war. England will need all her experienced sea dogs, but ... even Alan Lewrie? Ultimately Lewis is acquitted, but he's also ignored by the Navy, so it's half-pay on "civvy street" for him, and with idle time on his mischievous hands, Lewrie is sure to get himself in trouble---again!---especially if there are young women and his wastrel public school friends involved...and they are! A brawl in a Panton Saint brothel, a drunk, infatuated young Russian count, precede Lewrie's summons to Admiralty and the command of the Thermopylae frigate to replace an ill captain as the fleet gathers to face down the League of the North, and its instigator, the mad Tsar Paul. Lewrie must take the Thermopylae into the Baltic in the dead of winter, alone and with no support, to scout the enemy fleets and iced-in harbours, deal with a fellow officer who is less of a friend than he thought, and be saddled with a pair of Russian noblemen as a last-minute peace delegation, but if the wily Foreign Office spy-master, Zachariah Twigg, sent them, what else might their mission be? All that and the Battle of Copenhagen, too, and it's broadsides at close quarters, and treachery for Lewrie, forcing him to use all his wiles to survive!

    Lamdin's Baltic Gambit again proves to be a winner!!

    Dewey Lambdin has the "Touch" relative to Naval Action during the Republic and Empire wars conducted by Bonaparte. "Alan Lewrie", the central character, seems to be the reluctant change agent in 19th century English society as well as the fluxuations of politics within and without the Admiralty. It is a "good read". Hope to actually meet the author at some point as we both come from the same part of the country and have very similar connections with the history and people of the southern portions of the United States. His descriptive language in the "Alan Lewrie Series, uses phrases that instantly draw you back to your roots, if you were born in the South. The British influence, society of the period and impact on history does accurately portray a series of events in Lewrie's lifetime ...
