Wonderful British naval historical action book during the days of conflict with Napoleon. I have posted the entire series individually, although each book stands alone.
The whole Hornblower series is fantastic!! Great reading and writing. As are the Aubrey Maturin series and the Richard Bolitho series by Alexander Kent....all keepers!!
