Lieutenant Hornblower | 
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

March was the month I re-fell in love with Hornblower, and rattled through the first three books in the series. These really are cracking reads still. First fell in love with these books as a teenager, 40 years later I loved them all over again.
pickThe Hornblower books are more plot-driven than the Aubrey/Maturin books, which makes them fun to read. (Though I think O'Brian to be the better writer.) Hornblower does develop a bromance in this book, but it is nothing like Aubrey/Maturin.
Hornblower is a political animal, but also a warrior. Both serve him well in the Napoleonic Wars and the British Navy.
