Dewey Lambdins lovable but incorrigible rogue, Captain Alan Lewrie, Royal Navy, is back to cut a wide and wicked swatch through the war-torn Caribbean in Havocs Sword , an entirely new high seas adventure. Its 1798, and Lewrie and his crew of the Proteus frigate have their work cut out for them. First, he has rashly vowed to uphold a friends honor in a duel to the death. Second, he faces the horridly unwelcome arrival of HM Governments Foreign Office agents (out to use him as their cats-paw in impossibly vaunting schemes against the French). And last, he must engineer the showdown with his arch foe and nemesis, the hideous ogre of the French Revolutions Terror, that clever fiend Guillaume Choundas We know Lewrie can fight, but can he be a diplomat, too? He must deal with the newly reborn United States Navy, that uneasy, unofficial ally, and the stunning, life-altering surprise they bring. For good or ill, Lewries in the quag up to his neck this time. Can sword, pistol, and broadsides avail, or will words, low cunning, and Lewries irrepressible wit be the key to his victory and survival, as even the seas cry Havoc? About the Author: Dewey Lambdin is the author of ten previous Alan Lewrie novels and an omnibus volume, For King and Country . A member of the U.S. Naval Institute and a Friend of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England, he spends his free time working and sailing on a rather tatty old sloop, Wind Dancer. He makes his home in Nashville, Tennessee, but would much prefer Margaritaville or Murrells Inlet.
