About this product
Product Information
"Great naval action and deep historical detail in the vein of O'Brian and Forester." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) In Dewey Lambdin's Kings and Emperors, Captain Alan Lewrie, Royal Navy, is still in Gibraltar, his raids along the coast of southern Spain shot to a halt. He is reduced to commanding a clutch of harbor defense gunboats in the bay while his ship, HMS Sapphire, slowly grounds herself on a reef of beef bones Until Napoleon Bonaparte's invasion of Portugal and his march into Spain change everything, freeing Sapphire to roam against the king's enemies once more As kings are overthrown and popular uprisings break out across Spain, Lewrie's right back in the action, ferrying weapons to arm Spanish patriots, scouting the impregnable fort of Ceuta, escorting the advance units of British expeditionary armies to aid the Spanish, and even going ashore to witness the first battles between Sir Arthur Wellesley, later the Duke of Wellington, and Napoleon's best marshals, as the long Peninsular War that broke Imperial France begins to unfold. From C diz to La Coru a, Lewrie and Sapphire will be there as history explodes

Check the log, shipmate: Dewey Lambdin has left Alexander Kent and C.S. Forester hull-down in an ocean of words and is closing on Patrick O'Brian as the most prolific historical novelist to celebrate a Royal Navy mariner during the age of sail., A hugely entertaining naval adventure (á la Forester and O'Brian) with a different kind of protagonist.... Not merely a worthy entry in the very popular Lewrie series but a top-of-the-line naval adventure that can be thoroughly enjoyed by readers who've never met Captain Lewrie until now., Great naval action and deep historical detail in the vein of O'Brian and Forester. - Kirkus Reviews (starred)"You could get addicted to this series.

As described... A+++ on shipping and price... C (and that's being generous) on time. If you have forever and a month of Sundays to wait around then by all means do so. The price was great and the seller communicated wonderfully and the item was packed well so it wasn't damaged during transit all A pluses in my book just took a little bit longer than I anticipated.
