This least-seaworthy of a fine series so far is nevertheless one of the best because of Lambdin’s evocation of the fascinating Great Mutiny of the Royal Navy’s forehead-knuckling, forelock-pulling, long-suffering tars. The Ram-Cat is tested once again, not only in discovering and molding a new crew, but uncovering and undermining their insurrection. His methods are plausible and entertaining and, in the end, amusingly appropriate (for him) in his choice of allies. As an old addict of the Patrick O’Brien/Richard Russ series, I’m finding Lambdin a worthy (and less pretentious) successor, though both series were written about the same time. Allen Lewrie could be Jack Aubrey’s younger, even more rambunctious, brother. And his choice of the penny whistle for a musical instrument is more believable than Jack’s violin. The historical milieu of the tales thus far is always believable, even when some of the colloquialisms of the principal characters are suspiciously modern, and the reader’s addiction is inevitable. So clear your accounts and get ready to keep spending for the rest of these engaging novels. And confusion to Bony!

King’s Captain audiobook in series Alan Lewrie

I have enjoyed the preceding novels in this series. Could do without the soft core porn in the first few, and some scenes run a little long, but generally this is a great historical fiction series. It isn’t Patrick O’Brian or C. S. Forester but better than all the others. However, this book is no better than average. Authors of series fiction often seem to lose their edge in later books. I hope that won’t be the case here.

I’ve read the entire series and this installment shows such foresight and planning in how it fits the past and future books. Well written and does such a great job of making Lewrie pay for his behavior that it seemed he would always get away with. Lewrie is a real scoundrel / hero and can’t leave well enough alone. Probably why he is one of the most interesting fictional characters in print. Lambdin excels in the effort to make Lewrie’s inner thoughts seem so human without being forced on us. Very entertaining book and I will say you should read it. Cheap, cheap, cheap entertainment that is worth your time and the small price makes it even better.

Audiobook King’s Captain by Richard Stark

Damn fine stuff! Rollicking! Swashbuckling, or darn near. A bit “soap opera”-ish at points, and a little too dependent on previous books. (This is, of course, par for the course for “series” books.)

I don’t know if it’s just me, but the Kindle version was bollixed: the first two chapters were shoved all the way to the end of the book! I felt something was missing at the book’s opening! Yeah! The first too bloomin’ chapters!

The series is a little “saltier” than the other great series of naval adventures. More cussing, more drinking, more rutting. Way more cussing. (How can you have a story about sailors without the use of strong language?) This makes the series fit, I think, for mature readers only. But the books are darn fine page-turners, with interesting characters, fascinating situations, and some eye-opening historical education for the reader who is eager to learn.

Review #4

Audio King’s Captain by John Chancer

First, as a story this is not one of the stronger books in the series. I was familiar with the mutinies of 1797 and still found it a bit boring. But, you will want to read this book as there are some developments in Lewrie’s life ashore that you will need to be familiar with.

The biggest problem is that the beginning of the novel is actually at the back of the book, after the Afterword. I was already several chapters into the book when I looked at some of the reviews here and discovered the problem. Should you buy this book, just be sure to flip through to the actual beginning of the story. I will be writing Amazone and hope they either issue an updated Kindle version of, unlikely, issue a credit.

Alan Lewrie, at the end of the last novel (Jester’s Fortune), was withdrawing from the Adriatic as part of the British withdrawal from the Mediterranean in late 1796. This story skips forward and begins with the Battle of Cape St. Vincent in early 1797. Admiral Jervis is depicted out of character, praising Lewrie without promoting him. Jervis had the authority to promote officers he approved of and would have immediately done so if he approved of Lewrie. The real life Peter Puget received such a promotion from Jervis, even though he arrived after the battle (Puget was known from earlier accomplishments).
After a return to England to put the Jester into the dockyard, and a reconciliation between Lewrie and his father, the main part of this novel deals with the mutiny at the Nore after Lewrie is promoted and takes command of a frigate. He is confronted by an old enemy he cannot identify, and a crew split between mutineers and loyal men. The story contains little action at sea – when Lewrie is not on land, he is mainly aboard ship at anchor dealing with the mutineers. A side issue arises when someone writes a poison pen letter revealing Lewrie’s past indiscretions. Overall, the novel is more about personalities than about naval action. It covers a relatively short period of time in 1797.
For novels more action-filled, covering the same time period (including the mutiny), the reader is referred to Richard Woodman’s, “A King’s Cutter,” and C. Northcote Parkinson’s, “The Fireship.”
