    <body><![CDATA[Fitting ending to the series. Not an actual novel, but a collection of five stories about his time in the West Indies. Not my favorite Hornblower book, but I enjoyed it. I liked him a lot better in this one than in the book before it.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book seemed more like an afterthought than the last volume of the series. It took me quite a while to get through it, unlike the other books. On the whole, it was an enjoyable though superfluous.]]></body>
