H.M.S. Cockerel Paperback - 2009

by Dewey Lambdin

Alan Lewrie, swashbuckling naval warrior turned family man, longs for battle. And when it comes, a royal battle it is! Called to the "H.M.S. Cockerel", First Officer Lewrie soon vaults to command. Fine.

From the publisher

The year is 1793 and after four years spent ashore, the thrill of the high seas awaits Alan Lewrie once more. Finding life as a gentleman farmer and family man oppressive, Lewrie is gratified when Revolutionary France threatens war and the Royal Navy beckons. All does not go smoothly, though, as he soon finds himself aboard the HMS Cockerel dealing with a difficult captain and disgruntled crew. Once in the Mediterranean, he throws caution to the wind and becomes involved with the bewitching Lady Emma Hamilton. When the war escalates, he finds himself at the Battle of Toulon, where he meets a dashing young Napoleon Bonaparte. Outnumbered three to one, Lewrie takes on the French in a desperate bid to help the Royalists escape.

From the jacket flap

"You could get addicted to this series. Easily."
*The New York Times Book Review

1793 *In the seas of revolution . . .


A farmer, a bloody farmer! Knee-deep in dung and fathoms from the nearest port, Alan Lewrie, swashbuckling naval warrior turned family man, longs for battle. And when it comes, a battle royal it is! Called to the H.M.S. Cockerel, a sleek frigate captained by a malaria-stricken tyrant, First Officer Lewrie soon vaults to command, taking Cockerel from the lush pleasures of the Kingdom of Naples to a smoking cauldron called Toulon. There, an outnumbered coalition of former enemies is being drawn into a terrible land-sea battle against the revolutionary French *in a siege of blood and terror that will send shock waves around the world. . . .


He's fought and loved on land and bounding sea from America to the East Indies. Alan Lewrie is the unforgettable hero-rogue of the age of wooden-walled, spray-lashed fighting ships.


"THIS IS LAMBDIN'S USUAL SATISFYING BREW. . . . A fast-moving yarn loaded with action, colorful characters, and marvelous period detail." *Publishers Weekly


"GREAT FUN . . . Lambdin continues to plunk Alan Lewrie down in the midst of interesting times with humor and plenty of authentic detail." *Kirkus Reviews
