Review #1

A Ship of the Line audiobook free

Hornblower is a wonderful character, even after these many years. The story of a Royal Navy Captain fighting against Old Bonny is colorful, and detailed in nautical, period activities and involves dangerous deeds done by professionals.
We also get some of the flavor of the infighting at the higher levels of the British Navy. Hornblower was a superb naval officer but had no sponsor at the highest levels of the Abmrialty. This put him constantly a sharp reprimand away from ending his career. You might think that having top officers at danger of their lives would be enough for a corrupt system, but not so.
The curmudgeonly old bear also has a love life of sorts.
So this old story hits every button for the reader. It was a fun book to read. Forester is a fine writer and it is a pleasure to read him.

A Ship of the Line audiobook in series Horatio Hornblower (chronological order)

Ship of the Line is one of the highpoints of the Horatio Hornblower series — a dazzling adventure built around three-dimensional characters that will have you running to the store to buy the sequel. Do yourself a favor and buy Flying Colours when you buy this one. Otherwise, you’ll go crazy waiting to see what happens next.
Hornblower, flesh off his triumph in the Pacific, is now assigned to the least desireable two-deck ship of the line, the Sutherland, with only half the crew he needs. Worse yet, he’s assigned to duty under Admiral Leighton — an inexperienced, over-cautious and frankly incompetent commander who also happens to have married the love of Hornblower’s life — Barbara Wellsley.
Will Hornblower overcome these obstacles? You haven’t been paying attention if you don’t the answer to that already. He quickly becomes the “Terror of the Mediterranean”, leading brilliant daring raids against the French on the coast of Spain and finally ending in a stunning battle against four French ships that is possibly the exciting, most heart-rending and most terrifying battle sequence Forester ever wrote. It perfectly capture both the excitement and the horror of warfare.
As usual, it the character of Horatio that elevates this novel from historical drama to classic adventure. He in introspective and moody, intelligent enough to be scared of battle but brave enough to face his fears. He also represents the spirit of the Enlightenment in his disdain for the aristocracy and his belief that his men will fight better if they love him than fear him.
This ranks with Hotspur as the pinnacle of the series. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars was the occasional confusion over events and (wait for it) lack of maps. Otherwise, this is a great story.

Audiobook A Ship of the Line by C. S. Forester

it is shameful that apparently nobody bothered to copy edit this Kindle edition for obvious typos. The error rate was up to about on er ror per every two or three text pages (really). I highlighted them but after a while just gave up.

Review #4

Audio A Ship of the Line narrated by Christian Rodska

You don’t have to know all the sailing terms Forester throws at you in this superb book to enjoy it. All you have to do is savor the crisp, descriptive narration of a master author as he takes us along on a British ship of the line, under the command of a legendary captain. Hornblower has got to be one of the most likeable, yet most personally complex characters one will come across in popular fiction. Although the world of 17th century naval warfare is often alien to us, the reader doesn’t get lost. The author has an uncanny ability to keep it understandable. The Hornblower books are simple, old-fashioned adventure stories that are standing the test of time and excite the reader’s imagination. Fortunately, I have only read three of them. Many more to go!

this is the best description of a sea battle I have ever encountered. It leaves the reader stunned with the savragness of the two sides, British and French.Very impressive.
