Review #1

Dewey Lambdin will always come in second to Patrick O’Brian but having said that, he has written an excellent series of naval novels about the British Royal Navy during the 18th Century. My few quibbles are his overly extended passages about sail handling and boat handling which often go on for several pages. After the third or fourth time, I get the point: he knows the details of the theory and mechanics of sail handling 18th Century sailing vessels. I now simply scan forward until he has finished showing off and resumes the story line. The other annoying issue (at least for me) are his sexual interludes. I have no problem with Alan Lewrie getting involved with grass widows, whores, adventuresses and various morts but he drifts into pornography much too often for my tastes. If I were his editor I would have remove much of the repetitive material and wound up with a book 1/3 shorter…about 200 pages instead of 300 and told him to beef up the story line. Having said all that, I enjoy the story line very much and expanding it at the expense of the excessively graphic sex and the endless descriptionsd of sail handling would have earned him the 5th star in this review.

Review #2

The King’s Commission audiobook in series Alan Lewrie

Like the two before it, this is a fantastic book. It is obvious that Dewey Lambdin has the series well planned. Characters and storyline continue from the prior stories for the best effect at the worst times and push Lewrie into the stickiest of predicaments. I’m amazed at how much story is packed into each book in such a smooth, well thought out way. The descriptions put me in the scene. The attitudes and emotions are recognizable and dramatic without feeling like they’re forced on me as a reader. If you like a story packed with action that you feel like you’re watching, that keeps unending pressure on the main character with the only predictable element being that the hero will win, not how he will win or maybe winning isn’t even the best outcome then this is the story and the series for you. Lambdin is one of my all-time favorite authors and the Alan Lewrie series is one of my all-time favorite series. If Lewrie doesn’t manage to tick you off you should check your pulse. This is cheap entertainment that you’ll be happy to invest in. I recommend the entire series.

Review #3

Audiobook The King’s Commission by Richard Stark

This being the first of the series that I read, I found the story credible and interesting. Unlike O’brian, the technical end of a warship was not overwhelming and the story was able to flow past it without interruption. On the other hand the sexual content was so blatantly that the story could not carry itself through the episodes and these scenes caused interruptions to the plot that actually diminished the enjoyment.

Instead of writing a review of each of the stories individually, let me say that I continued for two more books in the series (Actually #3 and #4) and then gave up. It was very much like reading the first one over again. In addition, the assumption of responsibility and authority by the main character brought no change in his personality or maturity, and he appeared to be what a teenager imagines a mature person to be–all surface and no depth.

Review #4

Audio The King’s Commission narrated by John Chancer

Crisp writing, great story lines, full of the details of a sailor’s life from the mundane to the techniques of sail handling when aiming cannon. When I finished this book I read number 4 and am into number 5. Only 20 more to go. Better’n Hornblower, Boeltho (sic) and Aubrey and a lot more earthy.

This series overs the same age of tall ships as Horatio Hornblower and others but Lewrie is much more raunchy and, since we’re talking about men long at sea and far from home, more realistic. References to various sails and rigging will confuse some and you’ll spend time trying to define some archaic words and phrases but it’ll be time well spent.
The King’s Commission is better than some subsequent books in the series but they are all a sort of guilty pleasure to read. One piece of advice: read the introductory book, The King’s Coat first. It sets the stage for the series and makes understanding Lewrie’s character much easier than depending on the brief references the author includes in the follow up books like this one.
