About this listen

 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. . . .©1998 Dewey Lambdin; (P)2010 Random House

Highly entertaining. Great narration of a complex and conflicted character. I also hope the subsequent books are also recoded.

I enjoyed the story line but the narrator did not understand not understand nautical pronounciation

A fast moving tale.

Not as good as Bolitho or Ramage, in my opinion but what has spoiled it for me above all else is that, being an inveterate 'start to finish' reader, I suddenly find after completing book 8 of 26 that there are no more available.

With all 8 books, it's difficult to know at times whether it's erotica or naval history but I've ploughed through them nevertheless although it has been hard going at times.

This is an incomplete series.
