What is King, Ship, and Sword: An Alan Lewrie Naval Adventure (Alan Lewrie Naval Adventures Book 16) about?

<p>THE SIXTEENTH TALE IN DEWEY LAMBDIN'S CLASSIC NAVAL ADVENTURE SERIES<br><br>December 1801. The Peace of Amiens end the long war with Napoleon Bonaparte's France, but Captain Alan Lewrie, Royal Navy, is appalled by its consequences. First, he's been in the Navy since 1780 (most unwillingly, most of the time!) and at sea for the better part of nine years, since 1793, so what is a dashing and successful frigate captain to <i>do</i> with himself, if he's ashore on half-pay, and if so, for how <i>long</i>?<br><br>Second, and even worse, is <i>where</i> will Lewrie twiddle his thumbs and be bored to death until the war begins again, as he's sure it will? Will he idle in expensive, exciting London, or go home to his rented farm in Anglesgreen in Surrey, and rejoin his wife and in-laws who (mostly) despise him like the Devil hates Holy Water, where he knows as much of agriculture and animal husbandry as his two pet cats do of celestial navigation?<br><br>Peace and domesticity are hellish-hard on the rakehells!<br><br>Yet by the spring of 1802, Lewrie and his Caroline have <i>somewhat</i> reconciled (again) and are off to make a go of a second honeymoon – in Paris, France, of all places!
