The King’s Privateer

by Dewey Lambdin Book 4 in the Alan Lewrie Naval Adventures series.

First published 1992

4.3(4,495)

In 1783, peace leaves Alan Lewrie without the familiar purpose of open war, but the Crown soon recruits him for a covert voyage aboard the merchant ship Telesto. Disguised as a trading officer, he investigates the disappearance of British shipping between India and China.

The trail leads from Calcutta to Canton and reveals a French-led pirate force exploiting the limits placed on the Royal Navy by diplomacy. Given the freedom of a privateer and secret agent, Lewrie must infiltrate trading networks, identify the raiders’ base and fight a campaign Britain cannot officially acknowledge.
