Keep going Alan!

Lewrie, with his penchant for adventure, is at it again! Dewey Lambdin didn’t disappoint with this installment and John Lee deserves major respect for creating the sea dog that is Captain Alan Lewrie. This is a great listen and I can’t wait for the next story!

Quality of Narration

Quality of narration and rich situational comedy make this book immensely enjoyable. The descriptive, suspenseful action
is icing on the cake.

A good story around some unknown history

The narrator John Lee captures the characters and to story with impeccable sensitivity and insight. he is truly a master of this medium.

one of the most boresome installments

Major points: Lewrie doesn't get along with a commodore, Lewrie improbably gets involved in a land battle, Lewrie goes to South America for some relatively brief bouts of action. Does not advance Lewrie's story much, if at all. Found myself not being able to stay awake for this one.
