In Dewey Lambdin's novel; A KING'S COMMANDER, Alan Lewrie, in 1794, is in command of the once French corvette HMS JASPER. He receives orders for Corsica where he is to lure his arch enemy, Guillaume Choundas nto battle and to personally strike him dead!
It's 1798 and Lewrie and his crew of the frigate Proteus have their work cut out for them. First, Lewrie has rashly vowed to uphold a friend's honour in a duel to the death. Second, he faces the horridly unwelcome arrival of HM Government's Foreign Office agents (out to use him as their cat's-paw in impossibly vaunting schemes against the French).
