The King's Coat

About this book

The very first Alan Lewrie naval adventure in this classic series is now back in print! 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. . . .
