King's Captain

Mutiny and an old enemy threaten Alan Lewrie's new command and his life in this historical adventure for fans of O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series. "Another rousing installment in [Lambdin's] excellent naval adventure series. . . . A rip-roaring sea yarn brimming with riveting action and lusty diversions." —Booklist This highly entertaining adventure, the ninth in the series, has Lewrie being promoted for his role in the Battle of Cape St. Vincent and awarded command of a new frigate. His future seems assured, but before he's even had a chance to settle into his new role, mutiny blazes through the fleet, and Lewrie finds himself battling an old enemy for control of his ship. The problems that await him on his own ship, however, make him wish he was back under the Spanish guns, and the sudden reappearance of an old enemy has Lewrie fighting not just for his command, but for his life. Gritty, real, action-packed, and loaded with fun, King's Captain will take you on a great adventure in the high seas. "A grand satisfying yarn . . .series fans as well as newcomers will relish Lambdin's unerring depiction of Navy politicking . . . and, in fact, all the rich details of late-eighteenth life at sea and ashore." —Publishers Weekly
