Book Review: Philip K. Allan’s On the Lee Shore

Philip K. Allan’s On the Lee Shore was recently reviewed by Pirates and Privateers: The History of Maritime Piracy’s Editor, Cindy Vallar, who said, “On the Lee Shore is the third entry in the Alexander Clay series and is filled with action and peril that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Allan provides a unique perspective of the Spithead Mutiny, splitting his depiction between the points of view of the officers and the men. He deftly intertwines avarice, corruption, and mutiny, while spicing these with glimpses into the everyday lives of sailors and their personal lives both at sea and at home. There’s even a bit of romance, as Clay and Lydia Browning are finally reunited.”
