Seller's Description:
Fine book in a fine dust jacket. 191 pages First American edition, first printing. The first novel in the Lieutenant Lamb series. After serving six long years as a midshipman in the British Royal Navy, Lieutenant Matthew Lamb at last receives his coveted commission. He proudly begins his new assignment as "fourth" on HMS Sturdy, a well-armed frigate-commanded by a man a bit too fond of his whisky. The eighteenth century is the glorious era for the Royal Navy, but the mighty fleet is overextended. Some ships are blockading French ports, others are battling the Spanish in Cadiz, and still more are attempting to control privateers who are wreaking havoc in the Channel, the West Indies, and the Indian Ocean. Sporadic mutinies cast an unpleasant shadow over the military successes, adding to the wartime difficulties faced by the Royal Navy. Lieutenant Lamb is plunged into the thick of the action right from the start. He patrols off Gibraltar, witnesses a hanging, and has a bloody jaunt ashore in Portugal. The nineteen-year-old lieutenant demonstrates his potential in skirmishes with privateers, and conclusively proves his mettle in a ship-to-ship battle with a much larger French frigate. He even finds time to sow a few wild Oats in exotic places. Amidst all the excitement are the quieter moments of everyday life aboard ship. The activities of the ship's crew-confined to close quarters, and under constant pressure-are described with authentic detail, and the more humorous moments are highlighted. Lieutenant Lamb is the first volume in a new series of rousing naval adventures, featuring an intrepid hero who will undoubtedly prove a worthy successor to Horatio Hornblower.
