Another well written book. I think the series is outstanding and as Lambdin gets more comfortable with Lewrie and the supporting characters the tales get better. I was in the US Navy for 30 years and only participated in a few of the big operations of my time. In this book Lambdin illustrates that most of the time in the Navy it’s groundhog day-like tedium interrupted occasionally by sheer terror. I’m impressed by Lambdin’s ability to capture the essence of duty, fighting sailors life at sea, dangers, drudgery, fears, frustrations, elations and the simple/complex life of the crew. Aside from that, Lambdin has created such an interestingly flawed character in Alan Lewrie that I have to read on to find out what mischief, intentional or not, he will get into. It most certainly will be a doozy worthy of turning the pages until I’ve reached the end. I recommend this book as I have the others. I don’t think you’ll regret the purchase and I suspect you’ll enjoy the entertainment. Go ahead, buy it.

The Baltic Gambit audiobook in series Alan Lewrie
Another good tale from Dewey Lambdin. Took a while to get to the action, with perhaps too much time spent in the bawdy house up front, but Lambdin is doing a great job providing historical and social background to the events surrounding Lewrie. While Lambdin’s tack is clearly different than Patrick O’Brian’s, he still provides a lot of historical information that I did not pick up from the Aubrey series, such as much more detail regarding the political background to the unfortunate Battle of Copenhagen. As always, it is easy to identify with and feel empathy for the evolving character of Alan Lewrie, and the battle scenes are as good as ever. Looking forward to the next installment.

Audiobook The Baltic Gambit by Richard Stark
Dewey Lambdin is the missing link to great Napoleonic Naval fiction. I’ve read several others that have tried to follow in C.S. Forester’s style and they have left me flat. The books, and there are many, are definitely written for a more mature readership but the tongue-in-cheek antics and behavior of the main character, Alan Lewrie, leaves me smiling/laughing and the author’s knowledge of the ships of which he writes is formidable in a good way. I always know where the wind is relative to the ship and where-away is the enemy. The t’gallants are rarely set. This is the action and accuracy many current authors lack.

Audio The Baltic Gambit narrated by John Chancer
Slightly disappointing. I’ve always believed Dewey Lambdin to be a 5 star writer.I’ve demoted him for this novel. I love Alan Lewrie and identify with his character, but The Baltic Gambit suffered slightly from a turgidness (or is it turgidity?)in the opening 120 pages. I was growing impatient – which hasn’t happened before.Too many echoes of the court case,which has permeated several novels. No action. Nothing “new” to report for Lewrie fans and readers like me. Very few new relationships. Not a lot of “behind the scenes at the Admiralty” glimpses.The second half of the book was more satisfying. Am I alone in wishing that the author would send Lewrie away from the established “main events” of British naval history for a time? And it’s about time we were given insight once again into Caroline’s life,bringing up a family with an errant and absent husband.Dewey’s usually excellent at giving a colourful picture of real life in England at the turn of the 19th Century.
By the way, we’ve had a basinful of Russian acrobat beauties with irascible fathers! Please kill them off,Mr Lambdin!

It is as if Mr. Lambdin had actually been on the scene in his descriptions of the events, individual characters and interactions between the them. His use of the vernacular seems to be so authentic that one begins to think in his conversational terms – even the accents and slang in use at the time. Wonderful – as you finish one book, you can’t wait to dive into the next.
I adore the Alan Lewrie series of books and this one is no exception. If you love rollicking good sea yarns then this doesn’t get much better. Some reviewers bemoan that there is not enough sea going action in some of these books but I love the shore action just as much and as a female reader of course I lovet he romances and scrapes with the ladies that Lewrie gets himself into. In fact I do recommend this series to lady readers as I imagine that the majority of readers may be men. I hope none of that sounded too sexist! I won’t review the content of this particular book just read it and enjoy.
