Overall Grade: A
Series: Horatio Hornblower
More great naval action. Like the first two volumes, these follow Horatio Hornblower (duh) through his naval exploits and build on his growing reputation. vol 3 sees Horatio's prize command captured & he & his men thrown in prison, after he entrusts top secret naval dispatches to the "duchess" he is transporting back to England. However Horatio has made a grave error and there is again another crewman opposing him. vol 4 sees Horatio sent forth into France in a bid to help the French royalists regain control. Horatio must come to terms with his emotions, both romantically and politically, that leave him quite jumbled.
