Rough Passage to London: A Sea Captain's Tale, A Novel by Robin Lloyd | Editorial Reviews. Paperback (Reprint) $ Hardcover. $ Paperback. For those of us who like to read Herman Melville and Patrick O'Brian, Robin Lloyd is a fresh voice for 18th and 19th sea adventures. Lloyd's attention to nautical detail is as specific as the vocabulary and idioms of the time and puts the reader in the center of the action. Like the Charles Dickinson that Captain Ely Morgan meets, Lloyd fleshes out character and writes a page turner. I hope Rough Passage to London is just the first in a continuing series.
