Havoc's Sword

Lovable rogue Captain Alan Lewrie, Royal Navy, is back to cut a wide and wicked swatch through the war-torn Caribbean in his eleventh high-seas adventure. "You could get addicted to this series. Easily." ―The New York Times Book Review It's 1798, and Lewrie and the crew of his frigate Proteus have their work cut out for them. He has rashly vowed to uphold a friend's honor in a duel to the death, face the horridly unwelcome arrival of HM Government's Foreign Office agents, and, at last, engineer the showdown with his arch foe and nemesis, the hideous ogre of the French Revolution's Terror, that clever fiend Guillaume Choundas! We know Lewrie can fight, but can he be a diplomat, too, in his dealing with the newly reborn United States Navy? For good or ill, Lewrie's in the "quag" up to his neck, this time. Can sword, pistol, and broadsides avail, or will words, low cunning, and Lewrie's irrepressible wit be the key to his victory and survival, as even the seas cry "Havoc?" "Stunning naval adventure, reeking of powder and mayhem. I wish I had written this series." ―Bernard Cornwell, New York Times–bestselling author "The best naval series since C. S. Forester." —Library Journal "Lewrie is a delightfully randy and irreverent character, the perfect man to walk the quarterdeck of a Royal Navy frigate." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Lewrie is a marvelous creation, resourceful and bold." —James L. Nelson, author of the Blood, Steel, & Empire series
