The Happy Return by C.S. Forester

5.0

I loved these as a kid and reading the Hornblower-inspired space opera Honor Harrington inspired me to read them again. Hornblower Is a good man tormented by doubts of his own self-worth who strives to be better than his own opinions of himself. In this story he has adventures off the coast of the Spanish main, helping rebels, fighting rebels, and begrudgingly rescuing a lady in distress. Heave to!
