The Happy Return by C.S. Forester
3.0
I loved the Horatio Hornblower TV series and thought that if the movies were so good than the books must be worth the read.
My conclusion after reading the first one? Absolutely yes!
The story starts when the frigate Lydia is already on route to her destination in Spanish controled Central America. Hornblower must follow his admiralty issued orders, control his emotions, act the confident captain, win his battles, keep his press-ganged men happy, his ship stocked and repaired and make his way home.
Great characters, exciting battles and stellar storytelling make this a great book and I hope a great series.
