| | Industry reviews | "Enjoying as I have every episode in Lord Hornblower's career, I am now grateful to Mr. Forester for having turned the clock back to show us the gawky, spunky boy as he first went up the chains."
Young
"Not as vigorous story-telling as the other Hornblower yarns, but good reading for armchair naval strategists."
Young
"Hornblower, aged seventeen, is a human and appealing fellow, and Mr. Forester treats him with the humor and respect he deserves."
Polito
"A period of English naval history comes truly alive through these stories. They are authentic in feeling and sustained in tension; the historical novel is rarely so well served."
Polito
