I usually looooooove classics but this one put me to sleep. In conclusion of this book, a guy sailed across the ocean with his crew for point A to point B.

Great sea yarn. Five stars all the way.

This is the beginning of the story for Mr. Hornblower. He shows up abourd the Justinian as a cold wet landsman and grows into one of the greatest seafaring fictional characters ever created. This character was used as the basis for William Shatner's Captain Kirk.
