About this ebook
A thrilling new naval adventure in Dewey Lambdin's beloved Alan Lewrie series
In the twenty-fifth novel of the series, Much Ado About Lewrie, Captain Alan Lewrie finds himself landlocked when his ship, Vigilance, is decommissioned for a complete refit. Grounded and on half-pay, Lewrie enjoys a quiet life on shore with his wife Jessica, helps his son Hugh find a new ship, and happily marries off his daughter Charlotte.
But trouble has a way of finding Lewrie, even on land. He soon discovers a dognapping gang and uncovers a plot involving stolen biscuits and Rembrandts. The headlines should be positive, but the tide quickly turns against him once again. Lewrie realizes that life ashore can be just as perilous as battling the French on the high seas.
Dewey Lambdin, celebrated as the heir to Patrick O'Brian and C.S. Forester, continues the adventures of Alan Lewrie, Royal Navy, from his days as a midshipman to becoming a ship's captain and baronet. With well-crafted prose and vivid historical detail, Lambdin masterfully brings the nautical world of the Napoleonic Wars to life.

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.
