Epic sea battles abound in this historical naval adventure.Alan
Lewrie is now commander of his own ship, HMS Jester, which
participates in the spectacular British victory over the French at
the famous battle known as The Glorious First of June. From there
Lewrie is dispatched to the Mediterranean to inform Admiral Hood of
the French defeat. Under Hood's inspired leadership, Lewrie assists
in the conquest of Corsica, but Hood is soon replaced by the
maddeningly cautious Admiral Hotham. Only alongside one Horatio
Nelson does Lewrie again find his chance to be of service in a
series of fierce battles along the French coast. And it is along
that same coast that he hears once again of an old enemy, the
French commander Guillaume Choundas. Seventh in The Alan Lewrie
Naval Adventures, The King's Commander is perfect for fans of
Patrick O'Brian, Julian Stockwin and C.S. Forester. Praise for
Dewey Lambdin'You could get addicted to this series. Easily' New
York Times Book Review 'The best naval series since C. S. Forester'
Library Journal 'Fast-moving... A hugely likeable hero, a huge cast
of sharply drawn supporting characters: there's nothing missing.
Wonderful stuff' Kirkus Reviews
