October 2021 Update: While this wasn’t my favorite book in the series, as always, it was well written. I didn’t know this would be the last Alan Lewrie book at the time as Mr. Lambdin has died this year. I will miss learning what was to happen to Alan Lewrie. I will miss Mr. Lambdin’s writing about an irreverent character that he captured so skillfully in words and fictional deeds. I always looked forward to the annual-ish installments and still do, although they will never come. From my days in the Navy we didn’t say goodbye but wished our friends, Fair winds and following seas which I extend to you Dewey Lambdin and to your wonderful character, Alan Lewrie.

No spoilers. Just read the book. Here’s my impression. The blurb is accurate. You get exactly what it advertises. The last line says there’s never a dull moment for Lewrie, which I guess one could argue is true by the author’s determination, but I can assure you there are many dull moments in this book for the reader (me in this case). The dull moments turned into skimming as I reread account after account of what’s happened before in the Lewrie saga. I say this as a full blown Lambdin/Lewrie fan: There’s a lot of nothing but recap/recounting in this book which means it’s weighed down by old and there’s not much new. There’s not really much that is happening in the Royal Navy at this point in history so I can see that it is probably difficult to develop a good sea story for the period so we get a shore story that is going about the process of wrapping up loose ends but don’t expect all loose ends to be resolved. It’s not a sea story but it’s more of Lewrie’s story so maybe that’s enough for fans of this fiction. You get a dognapping tale and a another ambiguous tale that seems to have no connection to the Lewrie we know. I didn’t get how any of this story advances the Lewrie chronicles as a sea officer. I wish there had been more about his naval career and I’m disappointed that I had to wait a year for this interlude. It’s more like a waypoint where you will get a lot of detail that I didn’t really care about Lewrie’s personal life as a reader. The book, as is usually the case, is well written, well plotted and full of colorful early 19th century life in England as interpreted by Lambdin. Beyond that, there’s not much to recommend as a sea story except that I’m a fan so I bit the bullet and bought this interlude and have to wait another year, although with this book I don’t know what to expect in the next book, for some advancement of Lewrie’s sea/naval story – maybe.

Much Ado About Lewrie audiobook in series Alan Lewrie

Nothing damages an action/adventure series more than domestic bliss, but that’s what Dewey Lambdin serves up in his latest Alan Lewrie novel, written in the manner of Henry Fielding meets Jane Austen. The warning is right there in its title: Much Ado About . . . Nothing. And that’s what the author serves up.

It’s not that Sir Alan hasn’t been stuck in England between commissions before. Truth be told, some of those earlier books have been tedious too, though enlivened in one case by a trial for stealing slaves and the pursuit of a new bride in another.

This time around? Lewrie deals with cooks, helps with wedding preparations, and chases thieves (of various sorts). There’s no arc to the story, just episodes. Turns out that the craft Lambdin brings to describing military matters is less engaging when applied to vegetables and desserts.

Why four stars then? Because there’s a logic to this comic tale. Lewrie is no longer young, he has responsibilities to home and family, and most of the French fleet is bottled up by British blockades. What’s a fellow to do?

Audiobook Much Ado About Lewrie by Lambdin

I’ve been reading the Lewrie novel’s by Dewey Lambdin for over 30 years. I’ve gotten to know the old rogue as well as some of my own friends. While I enjoy the books of sea fights and derring-do, I also very much enjoy the ones where Lewrie is stranded on shore, like some deep sea fish, and has to struggle against convention and petty-fogging moralists.

Now, the old reprobate has settled down some and is married to Jessica, who understands him much better than his previous wife. I very much enjoyed this house-bound Lewrie novel and can’t wait to see how all the problems that emerge at the end of the book are dealt with in the next. I’ve read Ken and Forrester and Pope, but for my money Lewrie is the best of the sea-dogs!

Review #4

Audio Much Ado About Lewrie narrated by John Lee

If you want to skip this installment, don’t feel bad for doing so. It’s just as the intro describes. It seems our author found it necessary to spend nearly a whole book to tell stories that could have been handled with a few chapters in a prologue.

Lambdin has created a character that does his best work in command and whose worst troubles come ashore. Previous books balance well enough. This one not so much.

First 24 books in this series I enjoyed immensely. This one was dull and boring. Has Dewey lambdin run out of ideas for Naval Adventures? The author owes me $15 for this let down. If I was interested in the mundane doings of a British family in everyday life then I could have saved my money and just watched Downton Abbey or the British version of Shameless and been just as disappointed, bored and disinterested. Dewey lambdin, you blew it on this one. And your Nextbook if Alan isn’t back on the deck of a ship before I’ve got 25% into the book, I’m going to strike a match, burn your books, find another interesting author and never look back
