The King’s Coat

by Dewey Lambdin Book 1 in the Alan Lewrie Naval Adventures series.

First published 1989

4.2(6,693)

In 1780, seventeen-year-old Alan Lewrie is caught in a family trap and forced out of Georgian London into the Royal Navy. Aboard HMS Ariadne, the inexperienced midshipman confronts seasickness, brutal discipline and officers who expect obedience long before he understands seamanship.

Service carries Lewrie to the rebellious American colonies, where convoy duty and combat turn an unwilling recruit into a capable fighting sailor. While cannon fire tests his courage, he begins to suspect that the scandal which sent him to sea was arranged to keep him from his inheritance.
