The King's Coat

More praise for THE KING’S COAT

“If Horatio Hornblower is the gentleman’s sailor and Jack Aubrey is the thinking man’s sailor, Lewrie is of and for the working class. Pugnacious and randy, he’s a refreshing sea breeze.”

—San Jose Mercury News

“For readers who enjoy a high-paced adventure story, The King’s Coat provides the right ingredients.… Lambdin writes authoritatively of ships and life at sea, his work reflecting careful research as to infinite details, especially under the wartime conditions of the late 18th century.”

—The Nashville Banner

“Lambdin’s novel is not only filled with period detail, but the characterization is excellent and the novel itself realistically portrayed. Lambdin distinguishes himself by conveying an image of the times. His grasp of history and his portrayal of the foul conditions aboard the creaking, uncomfortable vessels of the 18th century are well done. For readers who enjoy action and adventure, this one’s sure to please.”

—The Macon Telegraph and News

“Lambdin’s Alan Lewrie stacks up well against C. S. Forester’s Hornblower and Alexander Kent’s Bolitho as a fictional naval officer.”
