Product Information
You could get addicted to this series. Easily. --The New York Times Book Review 1788--Bahamas Squadron . . . A fighter, rogue, and ladies man, Alan Lewrie has done the unthinkable and gotten himself hitched--to a woman and a ship! The woman is the lovely Caroline Chiswick. The ship is the gun ketch, Alacrity, bound for the Bahamas and a bloody game of cat and mouse with the pirates who ply the lunatic winds there. But while war comes naturally to the young husband, politics doesn't. Sure that a powerful Bahamian merchant is behind a scourge of piracy, Lewrie runs afoul of the Royal Governor--who holds the most precious hostage of all. . . . From the windswept Carolinas to the exotic East Indies, Alan Lewrie fights and frolics with all the wild abandon of the high seas themselves. He's a true swashbuckling naval hero in the age of great sailing ships. Grand, satisfying . . . Fans as well as newcomers will relish Lambdin's unerring depiction of Navy politicking, the niceties of Nassau society . . . and, in fact, all the rich details of late-18th-century life at sea and shore. --PublishersWeekly Hair-raising action . . . Fascinating . . . Grandly entertaining. --The Flint Journal Recommended . . . Lambdin's work is comparable to that of masters such as C. S. Forester. --Library JournalProduct Identifiers

One of the best sea story writers
A great read. Can't wait to read the next adventure of Alan Lewrie. Dewey Lambdin's knowledge of 18th century naval history and detail is excellent. Combine that with great story lines, well, it keeps me wanting to see what Alan gets up to next. Highly recommendedVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
