"Great naval action and deep historical detail in the vein of O'Brian and Forester." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred) "You could get addicted to this series. Easily." -- The New York Times Book Review "The best naval adventure series since C. S. Forester." -- Library Journal "Check the log, shipmate: Dewey Lambdin has left Alexander Kent and C.S.
Forester hull-down in an ocean of words and is closing on Patrick O'Brian as the most prolific historical novelist to celebrate a Royal Navy mariner during the age of sail." -- Washington Times "Lambdin succeeds with high-seas action, bravado, and Lewrie's characteristic antics, putting himself in good company with Julian Stockwin and Seth Hunter as worthy successors to the popular 18th- and 19th-century naval adventures of Forester, Kent, and Pope. Lewrie is a delightfully randy and irreverent character, the perfect man to walk the quarterdeck of a Royal Navy frigate." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A hugely entertaining naval adventure (รก la Forester and O'Brian) with a different kind of protagonist. Not merely a worthy entry in the very popular Lewrie series but a top-of-the-line naval adventure that can be thoroughly enjoyed by readers who've never met Captain Lewrie until now." -- Booklist "The brilliantly stylish American master of salty-tongued British naval tales." -- Kirkus Reviews "Lewrie is a marvelous creation, resourceful and bold." -- James L.
Nelson, author of the Revolution at Sea Saga "Stunning naval adventure, reeking of powder and mayhem. I wish I had written this series." -- Bernard Cornwell "Naval adventures in the time of wooden ships and iron men form a distinct literary genre. Nashville novelist Dewey Lambdin has mastered it." -- Chapter 16 "Lewrie is a delightfully randy and irreverent character, the perfect man to walk the quarterdeck of a Royal Navy frigate." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review).
