A coworker recommended these to me years ago, but I just ran across the first book in the series a month ago.....had to order them all! Story pulls you in with the first chapter, lots of history and detailed look at England and the British Navy.

The author of this series of books really knows his business and the subject matter quite well. The storyline keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. A series I will read and re-read.

Hornblower and the Hotspur is another great installment in C.S. Forester's Hornblower series. Continuing on with the development of Hornblower, Bush, Pellew and many of the Hornblower characters, this book tracks Hornblower's early captaincy in the ongoing conflict with Napoleon and the French and Spanish navies of the late 18th and early 19th century. If you liked the action, intensity and detail of Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World or the Patrick O'Brian novels that were the basis for the movie, you will equally enjoy the of Forester's Naval Warfare stories.
Classic sailing ship naval history.
