Title: Brings the moment to vivid life
Review: This novel was written after 'Beat To Quarters', but chronogically takes place before.This was my favorite in the series. A landlubber all my life, Mr. Forester's writing brings the seaman's life to vivid imagery.Hornblower is in command of the Hotspur and for part of the story is autonomous on the seas, indulging in his spirit of adventure. Every sea battle is unique. It's during the time of the Napleonic war from the British point of view.I've read this novel a few times. Even knowing what happens next, once I start reading I can hardly put it down.Great GREAT book.
