<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Capt. Alan Lewrie of England's Royal Navy and his men encounter their fiercest fight yet, where though the stakes are inconceivably high, the rewards may be higher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>A King's Trade</i> is the powder-packed thirteenth installment in Dewey Lambdin's classic naval adventure series. <p/>After Yellow Fever decimated the crew of Alan Lewrie's HMS Proteus, it had seemed like a knacky idea to abscond with a dozen slaves from a Jamaican plantation to help man his frigate. But two years later, Lewrie is now suspected of the deed. Slave-stealing is a hanging offense, and suddenly his neck is at risk of a fatal stretching. <p/>Once Lewrie has escaped, the master Foreign Office spy, Zachariah Twigg, arranges for a long voyage even further out of the law's reach, to Cape Town and India, as escort to an East India Company convoy. At the Cape of Good Hope a British circus and theatrical troupe also joins the party, teeming with tempting female acrobats, nubile bareback riders, and alluring actresses like the seductive but deadly archer, Eudoxia Durschenko! <p/>It will take all Lewrie's shrewd guile, wit, and steely self-control to worm his way out of trouble, and keep his breeches chastely buttoned to avoid even more troubles . . . or will he?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><P>Praise for Dewey Lambdin and the Alan Lewrie series<P>"You could get addicted to this series.
