«Al servicio del rey» is the historical novel by Dewey Lambdin, published by Bibliópolis in hardback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Alan Lewrie, a young libertine from eighteenth-century London, is forced to enlist in the Royal Navy after a family scandal. On the voyage to the rebellious American colonies, he discovers the hard life at sea and comes to appreciate it. The work begins the Alan Lewrie series, with an imperfect protagonist, far from the archetype of the chivalrous officer.
Alan Lewrie series (first novel); original title The King's Coat; translation by Núria Gres Llort.
For fans of historical fiction and nautical stories of the late eighteenth century, with a less-than-exemplary protagonist who departs from the classic naval hero.
Dewey Lambdin was an American nautical historical novelist. He was best known for his Alan Lewrie naval adventure series, spanning the American Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. Besides the Alan Lewrie series, he is also the author of What Lies Buried: a novel of Old Cape Fear.
