    About this ebook

    Alan Lewrie is now commander of HMS Jester, an 18-gun sloop. Lewrie sails into Corsica only to receive astonishing orders: he must lure his archenemy, French commander Guillaume Choundas, into battle and personally strike the malevolent spymaster dead. With Horatio Nelson as his squadron commander on one hand and a luscious courtesan who spies for the French on the other, Lewrie must pull out all the stops if he's going to live up to his own reputation and bring glory to the British Royal Navy.

      After flirting with being in command of a ship at times in the past, Alan Lewrie finally gets his own ship, the HMS Jester, a prize he'd won in the last book. The war is heating up and Lewrie sails into the battle of the Glorious First of June, then on to the Mediterranean, where under Hood and along with Nelson, he's at the taking of Corsica. But then Admiral Hood is replaced by Hotham, and Lewrie chafes under his over-cautious leadership. But old acquaintances and enemies from the past appear to, naturally, cause trouble for Lewrie. And he is asked by British agents to give his all--including an assignation with a particularly well-endowed and alluring female spying for the French. I continue to thoroughly enjoy this series. I love Lewrie, with his insecurities, flaws, and his nautical abilities. Yes, O'Brian's series is brilliant, but I never mind comparisons and enjoy these books on their own merits.

      A fun read. Lenrie needs to spend more time with his wife than shagging trollops, regardless the cause...
