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.

Such a great story, such awful narration.
He doesn't get the subject at all.

Bad narration
Reviewed: 04-15-23
Good story, but huge cringe worthy moments of terrible dialog.
Worst was the narrator for some reason giving a female character from CALIFORNIA an Antonio Banderas accent. Seriously, not cool.
Oh, and every European accent will be German, no matter what country the character is from.
This narrator is horrible and has ruined this audiobook. The Cussler audiobooks had a different, less cheesy narrator at one time. They should just reissue those versions.

Only 27 years old, Horatio Hornblower has distinguished himself as a capable and intrepid officer in the Royal Navy. On a reconnaissance mission with the Hotspur, a three-masted frigate under his command, Hornblower and his crew narrowly avoid capture by their French adversaries, but the danger is not over. In the meantime, misgivings about his recent marriage also weigh heavily on the young officer's mind.

I love the book, have read it many times. But this narrator is so droning and slow it's killing the experience.

Why isn't the unabridged version available in USA?
Reviewed: 09-20-21
All i wanted from audible was the original, unabridged version in audiobook form, but apparently the US isn't worthy of anything but this cut down travesty.
Guaranteed to stop my trial before paying for this service after this experience
