This is the second time that I read this book. The first time was quite a few years ago, so it took a while to realize that I was re-reading it. I enjoyed it every bit as much this time as I did last time. Dewey lambdin writes a good sea story, and is a pretty fair hand even when the action takes place on land. This is a book I can recommend to anyone who enjoys reading about this. In British and American history.

The Captain’s Vengeance audiobook in series Alan Lewrie
If you’ve read my previous reviews you know I’m a fan. This book shows an apparently large amount of research along with historical accuracy but it appears to have been devised to carry the weight of setting up later stories more than anything else. A lot of convenient occurrences that moved the story along. Knowing the series now because of reading it for the second time Lambdin is setting up future stories with what happens here which I generally admire as a secondary element of his story telling but this book feels like that was its only purpose. It could have been skipped except that future books will have vengeful characters from here. The premise of Lewrie hunting down his lost ship and the pirates that stole it was fairly thin as well considering that more serious crimes like mutiny and murder in HM Navy usually seemed to result in an APB like response. All in all, I can’t fault Lambdin’s writing or his ability to convey the time and place so vividly. A few modern ideas and sensibilities creep in here and there. Among his books I think this one is above average but not at the height of Lambdin’s ability in my opinion. He is still one of my favorite writers and if you don’t read this book you may scratch your head later in another book asking where that character came from and why are they so upset at Lewrie. Read this and you’ll know. Overall I think a reader and particularly a fan will enjoy this story. I did and I recommend it.

Audiobook The Captain’s Vengeance by Richard Stark
This book is fairly formulaic. I’ve been reading the Lewrie series as it becomes available for kindle and not necessarily in order. Here, Lewrie is on the defensive, trying to recapture a missing prize and discovery the fate of the prize crew. Later he gets willingly rolled up by his Chief of Staff, Captain Nicely, and bundled off on a misadventure to New Orleans to scout the city in the event of a British invasion of the Spanish territory. Along the way Lewrie meets up some American spys, an avaricious English merchant, and a beautiful yet cruel and wanton Creole pirate gang. Will Lewrie be able to seduce the gorgeous woman and defeat the pirates? Will he be found out and exposed as a spy by the Creole pirates? Will the Americans blow his cover to the Spanish, causing him to be hung as a spy? Well, if you haven’t read the Lewrie series you may be surprised by the ending, but if you’ve been skipping around you know exactly what will happen. Still a very entertaining read with a wealth of local and historical detail.

Audio The Captain’s Vengeance narrated by John Chancer
After zipping through the first 11 books (sometimes just a day or two each), it took me a month to finish this one. Dewey Lambdin takes Captain Lewrie off his frigate and wastes nearly the whole novel ashore in a silly, contrived, and painfully-drawn-out New Orleans spy caper, with fan-service sex scenes so awkward that, instead of being titillated, you just want to turn away in embarrassment.
I wasn’t sure if I was even going to bother finishing it, but I would like to read the rest of the series (assuming the author got this out of his system), and didn’t want to miss any context. Here’s hoping book 13 gets back on course. If you’re going to skip any book in the series, though, this is the one.

This book was an example of a lot of the things I really don’t like about the Alan Lewrie Naval Adventures. To be blunt, the book felt like a cheap, tawrdy spy novel instead of engaging picture of ship-board life I have come to expect. Lewrie gets press-ganged into spying on a band of pirates in New Orleans pretty much just for the hell of it (the reasons provided being that they took ONE of his many prizes, and also because his superior officer made him do it out of boredom). I was frustrated also but what felt like tacky and unconvincing villains, one of whom being a sexy pirate libertine (I get having to have interesting love interests but this really seemed to push it). The frustrating thing is that the preceding book had great naval action, intrigue that felt at least somewhat realistic and a villain who (though still pretty silly) felt relevant beyond the theft of one prize ship.
All in all, the Captain’s Vengeance wasn’t a BAD book by any means, it just wasn’t as fun as other books in the series have been.
