DEWEY LAMBDIN is the author of seventeen previous Alan Lewrie novels. A member of the U.S. Naval Institute and a Friend of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England, he spends his free time working and sailing. He makes his home in Nashville, TN, but would much prefer Margaritaville or Murrells Inlet.
Praise for "Reefs and Shoals:
""Check the log, shipmate: Dewey Lambdin has left Alexander Kent
and C.S. Forester hull-down in an ocean of words and is closing on
Patrick O'Brian as the most prolific historical novelist to
celebrate a Royal Navy mariner during the age of
sail."--"Washington Times
""Lewrie's a worthy shipmate for Aubrey and Hornblower."--"Kirkus
Reviews
""Lambdin succeeds with high-seas action, bravado, and Lewrie's
characteristic antics, putting himself in good company with Julian
Stockwin and Seth Hunter as worthy successors to the popular 18th-
and 19th-century naval adventures of Forester, Kent, and Pope. ...
Lewrie is a delightfully randy and irreverent character, the
perfect man to walk the quarterdeck of a Royal Navy
frigate."--"Publishers Weekly "(starred review)
"A hugely entertaining naval adventure (a la Forester and O'Brian)
with a different kind of protagonist. ... Not merely a worthy entry
in the very popular Lewrie series but a top-of-the-line naval
adventure that can be thoroughly enjoyed by readers who've never
met Captain Lewrie until now."--"Booklist
""Naval adventures in the time of wooden ships and iron men form a
distinct literary genre. Nashville novelist Dewey Lambdin has
mastered it.""--Chapter 16
""Dewey Lambdin may well be the best author of Age of Sail fiction
currently practicing the art. ... Lambdin's writing skills are a
perfect for his research. His well-chosen words capture the feel,
the tang, almost the taste of the moment. His characters are
immensely believable, either drawn from the pages of history or
evocative of the cads, scamps, and occasional good friends that we
mee in life. ... Let none have uncertainties about Dewey Lambdin or
his Alan Lewire: 'hearts of oak' both! "Reefs and Shoals "(and the
entire series of novels) is heartily recommended to lubbers and
sailors alike.)"--"United States Naval Institute
"Praise for the Alan Lewrie Series: "The brilliantly stylish
American master of salty-tongued British naval tales."--"Kirkus
Reviews
""You could get addicted to this series. Easily."--"The New York
Times Book Review
""The best naval adventure series since C. S. Forester."--"Library
Journal
""Stunning naval adventure, reeking of powder and mayhem. I wish I
had written this series." --Bernard Cornwell
"Lewrie is a marvelous creation, resourceful and bold."--James L.
Nelson, author of the Revolution at Sea Saga
"Lewrie is an endearing character-hero, philanderer, smuggler, spy:
a courageous naval officer unencumbered by high morals or
indecision."--"Publishers Weekly"
