About this listen
In the wake of a humbling incident aboard a canal boat in the Cotswolds, young Captain Horatio Hornblower arrives in London to take command of the Atropos, a 22-gun sloop barely large enough to require a captain. Her first assignment under Hornblower's command is as flagship for the funeral procession of Lord Nelson.
Soon Atropos is part of the Mediterranean Fleet's harassment of Napoleon, recovering treasure that lies deep in Turkish waters and boldly challenging a Spanish frigate several times her size. At the center of each adventure is Hornblower, whose blend of cautious preparation and spirited execution dazzles friend and foe alike.

Get the one narrated Christian R. Instead
Christian R does better character voices which makes it easier to listen to which I prefer.

Dashing story
Lovely writing about life at sea during the early 19th century. Descriptions of the hard lives of sailors at sea during this time cleverly woven into the narrative with the history of the times.

Meditative naval adventure
Get the Christian Rodska version! Performance is soporific in this one. A tale that seems to examine the minutia of daily activities of our beloved Horatio.

Dodgy narrator
Great story, but definitely not impressed by the narrator...that’s just my opinion. Onwards and upwards to The Happy Return!

Bad bad bad
The narrator puts you to sleep. Sounds like he is about to get a birthday letter from the Queen.
