No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
For over twenty years, Dewey Lambdin's devoted fans have followed the adventures of Alan Lewrie, Royal Navy, from his days as a midshipmen to captain of his own ship and, though on somewhat dubious grounds, a baronetcy. Now comes the latest in the Alan Lewrie naval series, An Onshore Storm , where Lewrie will take on his roughest adventure: maritime life beyond the navy.
Three mismatched troop transports, lots of 29-foot barges, and an under-strength regiment of footβa waste of Royal Navy money, a doomed experiment, or a new way to bedevil Napoleonβs army in Italy? Either way, itβs Capt. Sir Alan Lewrieβs idea, and it seems to be working, with successful raids all along the coast of Calabria.
But it depends on timely information, and Lewrie must trust Don Julio Caesare, a lord of a Sicilian criminal underworld, and his minions, or the amateur efforts of a disorganized network of Calabrian partisans always in need of British arms and King George IIIβs money.
When at last the fourth transport arrives with reinforcement troops, what seems to be a blessing could turn out to be the ruin of the whole thing! Lewrie has been too successful in his career at sea and heβs made bitter, jealous enemies with powerful patrons out to crush him and his novel squadron, no matter if itβs succeeding. And there are doings back in England that Lewrie would prefer to deal with but canβt.
Lewrie has always been lucky, always finding a way to prevailβbut can he this time? And if he is to be betrayed, who will do it?
Lambdin has been praised as the "brilliantly stylish American master of salty-tongued British naval tales" ( Kirkus Reviews ) and doesn't disappoint with this riveting addition to Lewrie's adventures.

Praise for the series:
" An Onshore Storm is entertaining fiction, a book that will satisfy fans of Horatio Hornblower-style adventures." β The Galveston County Daily News
"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." β 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." β Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A hugely entertaining naval adventure (Γ‘ 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." β Booklist
"The brilliantly stylish American master of salty-tongued British naval tales." β Kirkus Reviews
βStunning naval adventure, reeking of powder and mayhem. I wish I had written this series.β βBernard Cornwell
βThe best naval adventure series since C. S. Forester.ββ β Library Journal
