He seems to be far too intelligent for most teenagers these days and yet far too emotional at first to not be one! His shipmates slowly start to take to him – especially after a few games of Whist – with the exception of a somewhat vindictive man called Simpson. Understandably being seventeen he is incredibly nervous albeit clearly quite intelligent. The first book begins with Hornblower as a seventeen year old midshipman.
I decided to try it during a Christmas period sale on Audible and don’t regret it at all. When I mentioned this to somebody recently they recommended I give the Hornblower series a try as it is somewhat similar albeit focusing on the Royal Navy. The only exception to date proved to be the Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell which I had been listening to in chronological order from Sharpe’s perspective as opposed to publication order. Despite being a big fan of learning and especially with regards to history of all kinds, historical fiction leaves me cold.
