“I like Lieutenant Hornblower because it’s the only book in the series that tells the story not from Hornblower’s perspective, but from Bush’s. You see the main character through someone else’s eyes…with the naval genre, the settings can overwhelm the characters. It can be a bit dry: it’s easy to get lost in the ships and the seafaring and the naval history. So I like that he has a strong narrative voice in it. It’s a bit more emotional than some more traditional Age-of-Sail books.” Read more...
