King's Trade Tapa blanda - 2008
de Dewey Lambdin
Capt. Alan Lewrie of England's Royal Navy and his men encounter their fiercest fight yet, where though the stakes are inconceivably high, the rewards may be higher.
Descripción de la solapa
"The powder-packed thirteenth installment in a classic naval adventure series.
"
Captain Alan Lewrie, Royal Navy, is just discovering the truth of the old adage that " No Good Deed Goes Unpunished!"
After a bout of Yellow Fever decimated the crew of Lewrie' s HMS "Proteus "in 1797, it had "seemed "like a knacky idea to abscond with a dozen slaves from a coastal Jamaican plantation to help man his frigate, a grand jape on their purse-proud master and a "righteous "act, to boot. But now . . . two years later, the embittered Beauman clan at last suspects Lewrie of the deed. Slave-stealing is a hanging offense, and suddenly Alan Lewrie' s neck is at risk of a fatal stretching!
Patrons finagle an official escape from Jamaica to England, where the nefarious and manipulative master Foreign Office spy, Zachariah Twigg, is just "too "nice and helpful to be credited on his behalf, arranging a long voyage even further out of the law' s reach, to Cape Town and India, as escort to an East India Company convoy led by one of Lewrie' s old captains, who "still "despises him worse than cold, boiled mutton!
To the Cape of Good Hope, where French cruisers prowl, where a British circus and theatrical troupe joins the convoy, just teeming with tempting female acrobats, nubile young bareback riders, and alluring " actresses" like the seductive but deadly archer, Eudoxia Durschenko!
It will take all Lewrie' s shrewd guile, wit, low cunning, and steely self-control to worm his way out of trouble, this time, and keep his breeches chastely buttoned up to avoid even more troubles . . . or will he? Praise for the Previous Bookin the Series, "The Captain' s Vengeance"
" Every bit as atmospheric and addictive as its predecessors." --"Kirkus"
" A wealth of historical detail and lively . . . supporting characters." --"Publishers Weekly"
Praise for Dewey Lambdin and his Alan Lewrie Adventures
" You could get addicted to this series." --"The New York Times Book Review"
" The brilliantly stylish American master of salty-tongued British naval tales." --"Kirkus"
" Stunning naval adventure, reeking of powder and mayhem. I wish I had written this series." --Bernard Cornwell " Rousing series of nautical adventures." --"Booklist"" Lewrie is a marvelous creation, resourceful and bold." --James L. Nelson, author of the "Revolution at Sea "saga" The best naval adventure series since C. S. Forrester." --"Library Journal"
