Widespread mutiny threatens the fleet in this classic historical
naval adventure.Alan Lewrie, our rakish captain, is promoted for
his quick action in the Battle of Cape St. Vincent. Captain Horatio
Nelson has gone against orders by breaking out to pursue his own
instincts against an enemy division, and Lewrie gets sucked into
the action against his much better judgment. But Nelson's success
gets him promoted to Rear Admiral and wins Lewrie a fine new
frigate, HMS Proteus. But before he's even had a chance to settle
into his new role, the terrible and widespread mutinies of Spithead
and the Nore rage through the fleet. Together with the sudden
reappearance of an old enemy, it has Lewrie fighting not just for
his command, but for his life... The King's Captain, ninth in The
Alan Lewrie Naval Adventures, is perfect for fans of Philip
McCutchan, Julian Stockwin and Patrick O'Brian. Praise for Dewey
Lambdin'You could get addicted to this series. Easily' New York
