The Invasion Year" is the seventeenth tale in Dewey Lambdin's
smashing naval adventure series."
For a fellow like Captain Alan Lewrie, Royal Navy, who despises
the French worse than the Devil hates Holy Water, it's hellish-hard
to gain a reputation for saving them, not once but twice, when the
French refugees from Haiti surrender to England rather than the
vengeful ex-slave armies in November of 1803
After that, it could be "all claret and cruising" in the
Caribbean, but for a home-bound sugar convoy, one so frustrating as
to make even the happy-go-lucky Alan Lewrie tear his hair out, kick
furniture, and curse like . . . well, like a sailor
Back in England for the first time in two years, there are
honors from the Crown for gallant service . . . a lot more than he
expected from King George III, who was having a bad morning, then a
chance to move in Society after an introduction to an intriguing
daughter of a peer. But then come secret orders to experiment with
several types of "infernal engines of war," which might delay or
postpone the dreaded cross-Channel invasion by Napoleon Bonaparte,
his huge army, and his thousands of invasion craft. For the rest of
1804, Alan Lewrie and his crew of the Reliant frigate will deal
with things more dangerous to them than they may prove to be to the
French
General
