A Kings Trade : An Alan Lewrie Naval Adventure (Alan Lewrie Naval Adventures)

Set sail with Captain Alan Lewrie in 'A King's Trade', the action-packed thirteenth installment of Dewey Lambdin's classic naval adventure series. It's 1797 and Lewrie's luck is turning as the fallout from an old, righteous deed—taking slaves from a Jamaican plantation to man his ship—puts his life at risk. Fleeing both the law and old enemies, Lewrie embarks on a perilous journey from Jamaica to England, then on to Cape Town and India, escorting an East India Company convoy. Dodging French cruisers and a bewitching theatrical troupe, Alan Lewrie relies on his wit, cunning, and a dash of charm to survive. This prior library book is in good used condition and offers naval adventure, suspense, and a glimpse into 18th-century seafaring life.
