Review #1

Hornblower and the “Hotspur” audiobook free

Herein we find Horatio Hornblower beginning to stretch out and grow beyond his time as a Lieutenant and know the perils and pleasures of command. As the blockade stretches through time the ships crew become drilled as a well oiled machine. Remaining at sea keeps the British fleet prepared to meet the French when ever they venture out.

We obtain a deeper glimpse into Hornblower’s psyche, his personal rating system which tends toward personal denigration. Yet, we also see the joys of flying across the sea with all sails set heading toward a new adventure all within the constraints of Orders, the Admiralty, and his ingenious nature.

Hornblower and the “Hotspur” audiobook in series Horatio Hornblower (chronological order)

Forester is my favorite author of naval stories and his novels about Hornblower are the best of them. They are all great reading and ‘Hornblower and the Hotspur’ is the best book in the series. I got started on the Hornblower books over sixty years ago and was led to other Forester stories. His short stories about World War Ii are interesting to me because my Daddy was in the Navy.

Audiobook Hornblower and the “Hotspur”Hornblower and the “Hotspur” by C. S. Forester

Hornblower and the Hotspur
This is the third book in the Hornblower Saga following  Lieutenant Hornblower This book opens with Hornblower getting married to Maria. Hornblower may be able to face canon fire without fear, but he is just incapable of facing a crying woman who wants to marry him.
An irony here is that while the British are being “pressed” into service as seamen, Hornblower is being “pressed” into marriage.
Hornblower is given command of the sloop Hotspur
He is tasked with the mission of reconning (going on a reconnaissance mission) France’s primary naval station in Brest. Brest is still an important naval base for France even today according to my information.
Hornblower shows a remarkable talent for ferreting out information from the French without his sources even knowing that they have been used by a master spy or Hornblower’s men figuring out how he learned certain information.
Hornblower distinguishes himself in action once again but runs into trouble with the god, Neptune. The winter weather turns ugly.
I highly recommend this book and the entire series to fans of David Weber’s Honor Harrington series the first of which is  On Basilisk Station (Honor Harrington)  , naval adventure fans and ex-Navy people (a Marine who can read, might, also enjoy it.

P.S. Hey, I’m ex-army. We love to harass the jar-heads! During Viet Nam we were reluctant to let them play with the claymore mines, A claymore mine is a directional mine that has TOWARDS ENEMY in raised letters on one side. That doesn’t work if you can’t read English!

Audio Hornblower and the “Hotspur” narrated by Christian Rodska

One of life’s true joys is sitting back and reading a Horatio Hornblower book. This wonderful character — on one hand a naval genius and on the other, an instrospective, incredibly human leader — commands a small warship charged with keeping Napoleon’s fleet penned-up in the French harbor of Brest, preventing any possibility of a naval attack on England. Forester is amazing in his knowledge of the sailing ships and naval crews of that era. While we marvel at Hornblower’s audacity and skill when confronting the enemy, we are reminded that Forester is the one who creates the scenarios and is to be saluted for their originality and execution, if not their genius. And it’s not all war at sea: In this book Hornblower gets married and suffers the heartache of separation experienced by most sailors who spend long months at sea, away from their loved ones. I’ve read nearly all of the Hornblower books and have not been disappointed by any of them.

When I was in elementary school, Idiscovered one of the Hornblower books serialized in a magazine. I believe it was The Saturday Evening Post that became the object of contention between my father and I. Since I usually got home before he did, the latest installment usually fell to me first. It was all moot since I’d usually finished reading it by the time he got home. The local library had copies of the original novel, so I was able to get a large dose of Hornblower at a very early age and have loved the franchise ever since.
The characters are skillfully drawn and well rounded. The plots and subplots mesh well and the action is realistically presented. The dialogue is quaintly flavored but not stilted.
All in all, the series of which this book is a part is the gold standard of “Age of Sail” writing. I’ve read voraciously in the genre and found others who approach but none that surpass Forester’s Hornblower.
