In 1780, 17-year-old Alan Lewrie is rebellious and close to being a libertine, so much so that his father believes a bit of naval discipline will turn the boy around. Fresh aboard the king's ship "Ariadne," Midshipman Lewrie heads for the war-torn Americas, finding - rather unexpectedly - that he is a born sailor, equally at home on bawdy shore leave or afloat and in battle at sea. A vastly popular series, we watch Lewrie mature, but not to the point where he outgrows his appetite for adventure and risk, and for all that comes with them. "Brisk and brutal as the times, well written and well worth reading." (Amazon)
