About

THE FIRST NOVEL IN THE CLASSIC SERIES OF ALAN LEWRIE NAVAL ADVENTURES
1780: Seventeen-year-old Alan Lewrie is a brash, rebellious young libertine. So much so that his callous father believes a bit of navy discipline will turn the boy around. Fresh aboard the tall-masted Ariadne, Midshipman Lewrie heads for the war-torn Americas, finding-rather unexpectedly-that he is a born sailor, equally at home with the randy pleasures of the port and the raging battles on the high seas. But, in a hail of cannonballs comes a bawdy surprise...
The King's Coat introduces us to Alan Lewrie, hero of Dewey Lambdin's acclaimed series of naval adventures, which have often been compared to those by C.S. Forester and Patrick O'Brian.

    Reviews

    "Stunning naval adventure, reeking of powder and mayhem. I wish I had written this series."
    Bernard Cornwell on the Alan Lewrie Adventure Series
    "If Horatio Hornblower is the gentleman's sailor and Jack Aubrey is the thinking man's sailor, Lewrie is of and for the working class. Pugnacious and randy, he's a refreshing sea breeze."
    San Jose Mercury News on the Alan Lewrie Adventure Series
    "[A] smashing series."
    The Washington Times on the Alan Lewrie Adventure Series
