Review #1

I have read the Alan Lewrie and Tom Kydd series of novels from their starts, and like them both, but series that extend into double-digits can get a little long in the tooth. The most recent in the two series, “A Fine Retribution” by Lambdin and “Persephone” by Stockwin, have some parallels. Each is more of a love story than a story of naval adventure, in each the protagonist faces major political complications, and in each the female love interest is a free-spirited painter in the romantic style who must sell her work under a male pseudonym. All the same they are quite different.

As I recall it always takes quite a few pages to get Alan Lewrie to sea and into conflict. In this case more than the first half of the book is more of a light romance novel than an adventure novel. Romance is not to my taste (and given Lewrie’s bawdy nature a little unbelievable) but I read this with some enjoyment and recommend it to Lewrie fans and especially to those who find romance novels to their taste sometimes.

If Lewrie’s new story is light romance, Kydd’s is broad comedy, with our frigate-captain playing the Buffone. The style is not comedic but plot elements are definite comedic turns – “Bring on the lovers, liars and clowns!” I had to skip several chapters – I just despise broad comedy, probably because I am too much of a Buffone myself. There are, though, plenty of twists and turns, both in the naval adventure parts and the romantic comedy, and the naval adventure turns on some real (and surprising) actual history, so those of Kydd’s fans who are more tolerant of buffoonery than I am will probably enjoy this outing.

A Fine Retribution audiobook in series Alan Lewrie

It is always too long a wait until the next Alan Lewrie novel is published. More historical detail. More adventure. A perfect mix for a well researched historical novel with unique characterizations that maintain a reader’s interest. Recommend the entire series. With respect to this particular novel, there is a bit of a focus on the “office politics” of assignments and advancement in the officer cadre of the British Navy, which can sometimes go hand and hand with a lack of initiative and stifling of progress by those with vested interests. Sometimes referred to as bureaucratic inertia, Lewie has to wade through a bunch of it, ultimately widening his experience — and his reputation — skirmishing with feet firmly planted on foreign shores.

Audiobook A Fine Retribution by Lambdin

“A Fine Retribution” is far from the most energetic of Dewey Lambdin’s Alan Lewrie novels. Through twenty-three chapters or more, a reader might be forgiven for thinking the author has gone all Jane Austen on us: we certainly learn more than we need to about the crown mouldings, wainscotting, and drains in Sir Alan’s rental house. But domestic entanglements have long been a key part of this series, and so Lewrie’s courtship of an attractive young painter with a mind of her own mostly works. If nothing else, we get to see how much the “Ram-cat” has changed—maybe. I don’t see any flagging of authorial interest here. But I wouldn’t mind, either, if the next book opens with guns blazing.

Review #4

Audio A Fine Retribution narrated by John Lee

I give this four stars because it’s Dewey Lambdin and Alan Lewrie. But I have to agree with other reviewers who said it was a bit boring. Too much time in London, leasing and buying his house and courting Jessica. All real parts of the naval life during Napoleonic Wars, but the author could have spent less of the book describing it and more on Lewrie’s return to the Mediterranean. On the plus side, Lambdin has always been very good at giving us a good depiction of even the most banal aspects of life in the late 1700’s / early 1800’s, so the book, as do his others, paints a realistic picture of the era. Thought the closing battle, while well-depicted and gratifying to fans, was a bit too easily won by Lewrie. Looking for a more exciting read in the next book.
