    About this ebook

    Alan Lewrie is a scandalous young rake whose amorous adventures ashore lead to his being shipped off to the Navy. Lewrie finds that he is a born sailor, although life at sea is a stark contrast to the London social whirl to which he had become accustomed. As his career advances, he finds the life of a naval officer suits him.

      An entertaining book to finish the year on. This book follows Alan Lewrie into the Chesapeake Bay and the climactic battle at Yorktown at the end of the American Revolution. I enjoyed the maturation of Lewrie and the historical setting created by Lambdin. I thought there were too many long stretches of conversations between characters that could have been a bit shorter, but overall I was happy with the read and as a person who likes to read about the Age of Sail, I will continue with this series.
    • 4/5
      Laugh-out-loud humor, gasp-and-cover-your-mouth horror, and long passages of technical sailing lingo that periodically threaten to overwhelm the story.
