Book Reviews of the Flying Colours (Hornblower Saga)
Customer Review: A naval fiction author's review
Summary: 4 Stars
C.S. Forester was the Father of Naval Fiction. Critics of Hornblower portrayed in Flying Colors, have to realize that a "Kings Man" in the Royal Navy had to be just as well versed in life on the coastal areas and rivers as being in mid Atlantic. It comes with the territory. My first novel True Colors, set during the war of 1812 has five major sea battles; but in my second Shadow on the Water, half the story is set on land in Boston, with only two sea battles. As an author who trys to stay true to their plot, it's all about the story; the story; the story. Forester was a great inspiration to me although I always thought Hornblower was a bit too involved in self analysis. Forgive the pun, but whatever floats your boat.
