One of the many imitators of Hornblower. Pretty good, but not up to the original. I'd maybe give this 3 1/2 stars if I could.

It's certainly better than many, though, so if you are starved for 18th century sea yarns, this is a good choice.

My favorite of the Hornblower imitators is Jay Worrall, with books like Any Approaching Enemy.

Lisa Green Thanks! I am in fact starved for 18th century sea yarns. So far I have not liked any of the Horatio Hornblower imitators I have read very much. Looking forward to trying this one.
