Not sure what to say?

I have enjoyed, read and reread Mr. Lambdin's sea tales since I first discovered there was more to read after Patrick O'Brians work was done. Author and his Lewrie were and are great friends and companions and will remain so. Selfishly , it is a great loss to discover Mr. Lambdin has left us.

I read all 25 of the Alan Lewrie series and will get #26 if it is published. Having spent time on a square sail rigged ship, I related to the authenticity of ship handling that Dewey described. I discovered him after reading all the classic "age of sail novels" by Patrick O'Brien, C.S.

My condolences to Dewey Lamdin's family and friends. Sitting in my office, I count 18 of his books in my bookcase, plus I could find several paperbacks packed in the attic. I have followed Mr. Lambdin for a long time, and I have enjoyed his unique and historical works.

I have followed his work from the beginning and would describe myself as a fan. I'm sure there are many reasons that Mr. Lambdin will missed by family and friends. I will miss his unique contribution to historical nautical fiction, and regret never to have shaken his hand in gratitude and respect.

My condolences to Dewey's family and friends for their sad loss. I have come late to his Alan Lewrie series of which I thoroughly enjoy. Dewey had an amazing imagination and wit that will be sorely missed. He clearly was "One of a Kind". RIP Dewey.

I started purchasing the Lewrie series books some 20 years ago, and I have 23 books in the series. I am going to miss Mr. Dewey Lamdin and his works. God Bless.
