Hornblower: Addendum — Five Stories from the Hornblower Saga #12
![Jese Leos](https://manuscript.deedeebook.com/author/jackson-blair.jpg)
C.S. Forester's Hornblower series is one of the most beloved and enduring works of naval fiction. The series follows the adventures of Horatio Hornblower, a young British naval officer during the Napoleonic Wars. Hornblower is a complex and compelling character, a man of courage and determination, but also flawed and vulnerable.
Hornblower: Addendum is a collection of five short stories that were not included in the original Hornblower series. These stories provide a fascinating glimpse into Hornblower's life and career, from his early days as a midshipman to his later years as a commodore.

The Stories
The Happy Return
The Happy Return is a delightful story that finds Hornblower in command of his first ship, the corvette HMS Happy Return. Hornblower is still a young and inexperienced captain, but he is eager to prove himself. When the Happy Return is sent to the Caribbean to hunt down a group of Spanish privateers, Hornblower sees his chance to make a name for himself.
The Last Encounter
The Last Encounter is a tense and suspenseful story that finds Hornblower in command of the frigate HMS Indefatigable. The Indefatigable is sent to the Mediterranean to search for a French fleet that is rumored to be planning an invasion of England. Hornblower must use all of his skill and cunning to track down the French fleet and prevent them from carrying out their plans.
Hornblower's Temptation
Hornblower's Temptation is a thought-provoking story that explores the moral dilemmas faced by naval officers during the Napoleonic Wars. Hornblower is offered a chance to capture a valuable French prize, but he must decide whether or not the prize is worth the risk to his ship and crew.
The Examination for Lieutenant
The Examination for Lieutenant is a humorous and lighthearted story that finds Hornblower preparing for his examination for lieutenant. Hornblower is determined to pass the exam, but he is also nervous about the prospect of failing.
The Duchess and the Devil
The Duchess and the Devil is a swashbuckling adventure that finds Hornblower escorting a beautiful duchess to England. The duchess is being pursued by a ruthless French privateer, and Hornblower must use all of his skills to protect her and deliver her safely to England.
Hornblower: Addendum is a wonderful addition to the Hornblower series. The five stories in this collection provide a fascinating glimpse into Hornblower's life and career, and they offer a rich and rewarding reading experience for fans of naval fiction.
If you are a fan of the Hornblower series, or if you are simply looking for a great read, then I highly recommend Hornblower: Addendum.
