A daunting quest awaits Captain Alan Lewrie in this thrilling naval adventure set in 1807.
In King's Marauder, Captain Alan Lewrie, Royal Navy, faces a challenging year. Recovering from a wound suffered in the South Atlantic, he's living at his father's estate among spiteful neighbors and family. At last, the Admiralty awards him a new commission, but it's not a frigate-it's a clumsy, slow two-decker Fourth Rate 50. Are his frigate days over for good?
Ordered to Gibraltar, Lewrie finds that the Foreign Office Secret Branch has use for him again. HMS Sapphire is the wrong ship for the task of raising chaos along the Spanish coasts and servicing agents and informers. He needs soldiers, landing craft, and a transport ship-none of which he has. He could beg off and say it's asking too much, but Alan Lewrie is not a man to admit failure and defeat. His quest might prove the most daunting of his long naval career.
Dewey Lambdin's Alan Lewrie series ranks alongside greats like Patrick O'Brian and C. S. Forester for its terrific period detail and irresistible hero. Immerse yourself in this riveting historical fiction saga filled with nautical adventure, maritime history, and military exploits during the Anglo-French War of the early 19th century.
