Mr. Midshipman Hornblower - C.S Forester - Ctr. 10: The Duchess and The Devil

(This is the last chapter of the first book - thanks a million to all of you for listening, and I hope that you've enjoyed. I do read the comments and am deeply grateful for all your feedback, good or bad. Naval history and fiction have always been passions of mine, so it's wonderful to be able to share these stories with others - they're truly in a class of their own! More to come with any luck!) The first of C.S Forester's naval yarns on the career of Horatio Hornblower; known first as the midshipman who was 'seasick at Spithead', he would eventually rise to become one of Napoleonic Britain's most decorated naval officers. This marks the first of his many years at sea, charting his journey from Midshipman to Lieutenant. Listen on, and enjoy!
