Havoc's Sword

Dewey Lambdin''s lovable but incorrigible rogue Captain Alan Lewrie Royal Navy is back to cut a wide and wicked swatch through the war-torn Caribbean in Havoc''s Sword an entirely new high seas adventure. It''s 1798 and Lewrie and his crew of the Proteus frigate have their work cut out for them. First he has rashly vowed to uphold a friend''s honor in a duel to the death. Second he faces the horridly unwelcome arrival of HM Government''s Foreign Office agents (out to use him as their cat''s-paw in impossibly vaunting schemes against the French). And last he must engineer the showdown with his arch foe and nemesis the hideous ogre of the French Revolution''s Terror that clever fiend Guillaume Choundas!We know Lewrie can fight but can he be a diplomat too? He must deal with the newly reborn United States Navy that uneasy unofficial ally and the stunning life-altering surprise they bring. For good or ill Lewrie''s in the quag up to his neck this time. Can sword pistol and broadsides avail or will words low cunning and Lewrie''s irrepressible wit be the key to his victory and survival as even the seas cry Havoc?
