The second act of the Hornblower saga is a gripping, rip-roaring tale of turmoil and triumph on the high seas. With new responsibilities thrust upon him, a young Lieutenant Hornblower is now fully in command of a ship for the first time. Faced with the challenges of near-mutiny, bloody hand-to-hand combat, deck-splintering sea battles, and the violence and horrors of life aboard the fighting ships in Napoleonic Wars, Hornblower must find a way to endure and overcome, as only a hero of his stature can.

Critic reviews
"This is quite a story, one of the best in the apparently limitless Hornblower series, and a pleasure...from beginning to end." (The New York Times)
"I recommend Forester to every literate I know." (Ernest Hemingway)

If you havent read them yet, i strongly recommend that you give them a try. But, they will grow on you and start and make it hard to stop! The wonderful writing and the descriptions of naval battles and life at the sea in the days of yore make this a most unforgettable series.
An Excellent Series

The narration is also quite poor. The narrator has a lovely voice, but his grasp of character are so cheesy, I think they have given me high cholesterol. The book is horribly overacted, making it difficult to engage with the characters. The female dialogue, in particular, is cringe-worthy. I now see that audible carries another version of the novell. I really don't understand why only this version appeared when I searched.
Despite these problems, I enjoyed the story and loved the main character. Will continue with the series if I can find another version.
Poor form, audible! This is one customer who is far from trundles.
Great novel awful sound quality

And that fills in details ,and awareness about what the British control of the sea. Without this one misses the truth that Napoleon
was the character and the reality of what was the "real" first world war.
Classic

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I'll be honest I quit listening to this book after about 10 minutes. Not because of the store but because of the unbelievably bad sound quality. I was so looking forward to this story but can't bring myself to struggle through this narration. I hope that someone re-records this story very soon.Embarrassing Sound Quality
