Year: 2020 Language: english Author: Dewey Lambdin Performer: John Lee Publisher: Tantor Type: audiobook Audio codec: MP3 Audio bitrate: 64 kbits Description: Three mismatched troop transports, lots of 29-foot barges, and an under- strength regiment of foot - a waste of Royal Navy money, a doomed experiment, or a new way to bedevil Napoleon's army in Italy? Either way, it's Capt. Sir Alan Lewrie's idea, and it seems to be working, with successful raids all along the coast of Calabria. But it depends on timely information, and Lewrie must trust Don Julio Caesare, a lord of a Sicilian criminal underworld, and his minions, or the amateur efforts of a disorganized network of Calabrian partisans always in need of British arms and King George III's money. When at last the fourth transport arrives with reinforcement troops, what seems to be a blessing could turn out to be the ruin of the whole thing! Lewrie has been too successful in his career at sea and he's made bitter, jealous enemies with powerful patrons out to crush him and his novel squadron, no matter if it's succeeding. And there are doings back in England that Lewrie would prefer to deal with but can't. Lewrie has always been lucky, always finding a way to prevail-but can he this time? And if he is to be betrayed, who will do it?

Description: Three mismatched troop transports, lots of 29-foot barges, and an under-
strength regiment of foot - a waste of Royal Navy money, a doomed experiment,
or a new way to bedevil Napoleon's army in Italy? Either way, it's Capt. Sir
Alan Lewrie's idea, and it seems to be working, with successful raids all along
the coast of Calabria.
But it depends on timely information, and Lewrie must trust Don Julio Caesare,
a lord of a Sicilian criminal underworld, and his minions, or the amateur
efforts of a disorganized network of Calabrian partisans always in need of
British arms and King George III's money. When at last the fourth transport
arrives with reinforcement troops, what seems to be a blessing could turn out
to be the ruin of the whole thing! Lewrie has been too successful in his career
at sea and he's made bitter, jealous enemies with powerful patrons out to crush
him and his novel squadron, no matter if it's succeeding. And there are doings
back in England that Lewrie would prefer to deal with but can't. Lewrie has
always been lucky, always finding a way to prevail-but can he this time? And if
he is to be betrayed, who will do it?
