Review #1

In spite of other lower rated reviews for this and the previous Lewrie adventure, I couldn’t resist trying it and was not disappointed. First, I no longer try to compare Dewey Lambdin’s writing with Patrick O’Brian. Sure they converge at times, but they are two different styles; both educate and entertain but in different ways. Other reviewers have complained about lack of action in this and the previous novel involving the mutiny at the Nore. From my viewpoint, these two books have still held my interest with their depiction of human interactions as well as shedding light on what were for me lesser-known historical events lost among other tellings of the Great War. The previous novel entertained and educated me with its depiction of the Spithead and Nore Mutinies and the differences in the two. The current novel, Sea of Grey, takes us to the Caribbean and the murky doings of the various slave rebellions and was for me an eye opener that shed light in particular on the war waged by Touissaint L’Ouverutre (hope I got the spelling right!) on what is today Haiti. I had no idea that after the French were evicted that the British fought a hopeless war with the ex-slaves on the scale that Lambdin describes. He also explores the dark side of slavery throughout the Caribbean, fromn the perspective of slaves and “masters”, including British, French, Danish and others, with surprising detail and insight. I took a lot of sober new information and understanding of this era and region away from the book at the same time I was being entertained by the prose. Lamdin still managed to squeeze in enough sea and land action to keep me satisfied.

Sea of Grey audiobook in series Alan Lewrie

This is a very entertaining series and it is best started at book 1 if you haven’t already begun there. This ain’t literature but it is darn good writing and it does a great job of setting up much of the rest of the series. Lambdin obviously thinks way ahead and plants tidbits and significant hints in earlier books so that later events all make sense and weave flawlessly into the fabric of Alan Lewrie tales. I’m reading the series a second time in preparation for reading “The King’s Marauder” and what amazes me is that I thought Lambdin was good the first time but the second time through I’m seeing that Lewrie has more self awareness than I remembered before and his flaws, actions and thinking remind me of everyday humans I’ve been associated with. I don’t know how far this series will go but I suspect I’ll be reading it to the last book. Lambdin obviously began with the end in mind. I don’t find many authors in this genre who seem to have done that and it usually shows in the later books when it seems the story has run out before the series did. The Alan Lewrie series is still going strong and I highly recommend the entire series to anyone interested in the genre. Lambdin ranks with the best of the historical nautical writers I’ve read and I’ve read a lot of them. Read it!

Review #3

Audiobook Sea of Grey by Richard Stark

The Alan Lewrie series of nautical fiction has become a favorite of many of us. His attention to detail and relation to events of the times brings authenticity to the books. The dialogue, settings, and characters are believable and the action scenes are well-written.

Interesting submission in the continuing Lewrie adventure series as the majority takes place on land. Ties up some loose ends on land and sets the scene for continued adventure at sea. Already looking forward to the next book.

Review #4

Audio Sea of Grey narrated by John Chancer

This is the 10th novel in a series about Royal Navy officer Alan Lewrie. It would be difficult to understand large portions of the plot without reading the earlier novels. After the previous novels (“Jester’s Fortune,” etc.), this one was a disappointment. The novel starts with Lewrie out on the town with his father, with a broken arm and an indication of troubles with his wife. The author then uses one chapter to flash back to Camperdown to explain the broken arm, and a second chapter to flash back to earlier in the day and a very public confrontation with his wife. Considering Caroline’s past use of a pistol (see “the Gun Ketch”), Lewrie is lucky to come away with his hide intact.
Lewrie finds himself somewhat out of favor at the Admiralty, and is sent off to the West Indies (at least he has a command). The author tends to use large amounts of space on trivia, while barely mentioning things of significance (delivering dispatches to Admiral Jervis is covered in a sentence). There are places where the story seems to move forward in jumps. Old acquaintances are dragged into the story here and there as Lewrie is finally back into action in a series of engagements, either with the enemy or with available women. The losses from tropical fevers are described by Frederick Hoffman in his autobiography, “A Sailor of King George.”
The novel seems to alternate between naval action, discussions of moral philosophy, short discourses on history or geography, and incidents in Lewrie’s love life. The story is left unfinished. Caroline has thrown him out and wants most of his assets, his young daughter publicly calls him a sinner, his sons have been sent off to a boarding school, one of his friends wants him as a second in a planned duel, and the evil Choundos is back. The story has graphic sexual content which does not improve a mediocre novel.

Review #5

Free audio Sea of Grey – in the audio player below

This latest episode in Alan Lewrie’s adventures is a fast paced romp set in the Caribbean and covers the founding of Haiti, more generally the war in that sea and of course Alan’s sex life. Numerous old friends and enemies either make their presence known physically or as being in the area but as yet unseen, all of whom complicate the central characters life. Whilst they do appear in previous books it is possible to read this book as a stand alone, but I wouldn’t recommend that course of action purely for the sake of enjoying the prior 9 books. Wholeheartedly recommended
