( ) brakketh | Oct 25, 2020 | Just good fun. (  ) viking2917 | May 11, 2020 | Really enjoyable, and action packed. Will re-read and get the rest of the series. If you like boats and sailing you will love it otherwise you might not. (  ) Wanda-Gambling | May 9, 2020 | I went into the series with all of the wrong expectations. Having just finished Patrick O'Brian's twenty novels of seafaring goodness, Horatio Hornblower just didn't cut it for me. The plot is much more focused around the characters and their personalities than historical events and logistics. Don't get me wrong, it makes for a fantastic read, if that's what you're looking for.

The first Horatio Hornblower Tale of the Sea 1793, the eve of the Napoleonic Wars, and Midshipman Horatio Hornblower receives his first command . . . As a seventeen-year-old with a touch of sea sickness, young Horatio Hornblower hardly cuts a dash in His Majesty's navy. Yet from the moment he is ordered to board a French merchant ship in the Bay of Biscay and take command of crew and cargo, he proves his seafaring mettle on the waves. After a character-forming duel, several deadly chases and some dramatic captures and escapes, the young Hornblower is soon forged into a formidable man of the sea. This is the first of eleven books chronicling the nautical adventures of C. S. Forester's inimitable hero, Horatio Hornblower. Featuring an exclusive introduction by Bernard Cornwell, creator of Sharpe 'Absolutely compelling.
