Lewrie spends quite a bit of energy trying to get ashore and into someone's bed in this book. While that in itself is not unusual for a sailor tale, it's the (too-high) level of details that turns me away from this character. Lewrie, as he gains his sea-legs through this book, matures as both man and sailor and it's that part of the plot that redeems the book for me. Perhaps not surprisingly, his attitudes towards women matures through this timeline as well.
There's some good adventure during the evacuation as he matures as a leader that bears some further inspection. And certainly there are some flashes of recognition from him that he is maturing in various forms along his journey.
I liked this one enough to seek out the first in this series to see where Lewrie starts. Since I prefer the Lewrie at the end of [b:The French Admiral|75285|The French Admiral (Alan Lewrie, #2)|Dewey Lambdin|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1328851992s/75285.jpg|72823] to the beginning, I'm not certain if I will like [b:The King's Coat|181195|The King's Coat (Alan Lewrie, #1)|Dewey Lambdin|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320448819s/181195.jpg|175082] any more than this one.
