King, Ship, and Sword

Set against the backdrop of the post-Amiens peace in 1801, Captain Alan Lewrie faces an uncertain future as he transitions from active naval duty to a period of boredom ashore, contemplating whether to spend time in London or returning to his farm in Surrey. As war looms once more, Lewrie receives new orders and a chance to return to the sea, this time driven by personal motives rather than duty, promising a fresh chapter in his adventurous life.
