Book excerpt: "Lambdin is closing on Patrick O'Brian as the most prolific historical novelist to celebrate a Royal Navy mariner." —Washington Times In 1805, with news of Admiral Nelson's death fresh on his mind, Captain Lewrie's HMS Reliant joins up in the voyage that will culminate in the Battle of Cape Town, in which the British wrested control of South Africa from the Dutch. In the wake of that victory, Lewrie heads west to South America, where Britain's attacks on Buenos Aires and other Spanish colonies have not been faring as well. But the worst is yet to come, and soon Lewrie will be facing a battle at sea that will put his naval career and life at risk. Dewey Lambdin has been roundly praised as one of the best living novelists writing in the vein of Patrick O'Brian and C. S. Forester. In Hostile Shores he returns with an exciting, battle-heavy tale of life in the King's Navy, starring the rough-edged hero Captain Alan Lewrie.

Book excerpt: Nada, one of thirteen nutria brought to Avery Island (not an island, but a salt dome) by E. A. McIlhenny (Mr. Ned) for experimental stock breeding purposes, is the runt of the group and is blind in one eye. During a hurricane, the nutria pen topples over, and Nada and her friends escape. Nada runs under Mr. Ned's house, but the others run off in different directions. The next day, Nada sets off to find her friends. Nada's search takes her to four other salt domes. She finds each of her friends, but they have been influenced by the life on the salt domes and have become very different in their behavior. Nada wants her friends to return to live together on Avery Island where they can teach the young all of the nutria traditions. But she fails. Nada finds her way into a rice paddy where Gertrude Gallinule attacks her. She escapes. With the help of Lawrence Lizard, her friends come to visit and cheer her up. An egret comes to tell of strange goings on at Jefferson Island and that all the nutria must go there immediately because Lothario's family is in danger. Nada saves Lothario's wives and children who are trapped under the Joseph Jefferson House that is collapsing. When the nutria see how Nada risks her life for them, they are ashamed of their behavior and agree to stay together on Avery Island where they live happily ever after. This book is aimed at 8-12 year olds, but its serious moral nature will appeal to all ages.

Book excerpt: "Every age has it heroes, villains, tales, and triumphs. But it is not the event that echoes through the waves of time, nor even the players. What will matter in the end is the perspective and the message. What the viewer is able to gain, learn, uncover, and more so the angle. For history is a repetition, lives repeatable, and energy recycled. While the constant seems to be a repartition of change, there is something deeper. We, they, it, all of a cycle, a cycle cylindrical and evolving. One wave after another as part of the cycle, a constant viewable if far enough away. Each and every piece necessary, every thought important, every one significant, and all a matter of your perspective." We began in Heven so too will return We have chosen our full statistics Whether we remember or not it is our fault Holding his wrapped still bleeding hand, he could not help but feel proud, invigorated even. He may have left a piece of himself on the battlefield, but he took more than his share in experience, knowledge, and confidence. With a half smirk of conviction he let loose his arms, a display of his mind over matter. Wherein lies the trauma of our waking dreamings Fierce smoke colored whirlwinds on a mind Withdrawn but ever wandering he must rise Nightmarish tremors of futures unknown Will be or could be is lost to uncertainty
