The Invasion Year
- Alan Lewrie Series, Book 17
For someone like Royal Navy Captain Alan Lewrie, who despises the French more than the Devil hates holy water, it is hard to earn a reputation for saving them, not once but twice, when the Frenchmen Refugees from Haiti surrender to Britain instead of an army of vengeful ex-slaves in November 1803!
After that, it might be “all wine and cruise” in the Caribbean, but for a convoy carrying the road home, one person is so frustrating that even a jolly Alan Lewrie pulls his hair out. , kicking furniture and cursing. like… well, like a sailor!
Returning to England for the first time in two years, there were honors from the Crown for brave service… more than he expected from King George III, who had a bad morning, then is an opportunity to move to the Association after a long time. Introducing a colleague’s attractive daughter. But then secret orders were given to test some sort of “hell war engine”, which could delay or delay Napoleon Bonaparte’s fearsome cross-British invasion, the army of giants. his giant and his thousands of invading ships. For the rest of 1804, Alan Lewrie and the crew of his frigate Reliant would deal with more danger to them than they could prove to the French!
The entertaining episode of the story of Captain Alan Lewrie of the Royal Navy, circa 1804. Once again, I was overwhelmed by the amount of technical detail and dialogue of the period (navy jargon, early world). 19th century, English, etc.) as well as history crammed into this series. “The Invasion Year” has more parts in this meticulous article, but it’s all presented with steady wit and humor and a host of great characters.
The “Year of Invasion” (referring to Napoleon’s threat to invade England) begins with Lewrie on patrol near the island of Hispaniola (where the French had been driven out by their Negro slaves), transitioning to herding a massive cargo fleet hits the shores of the United States, eventually crossing over England, and ends with the Captain and his ship, the Reliant, engaging in the testing of some suspicious secret weapons to prevent French invasion preparations. There was a wonderful period that brought Lewrie to the palace of St. James to be recognized for service by George III. This is confusing in a funny but beneficial way and is followed by the beginning of a new and important romantic relationship.
Overall, one of the best books in the series, I think.
