CrowCAH @LeahBergen I've started this series and the next to read is #3. They're entertaining and I love the historical aspect of the series-great research for my book. 8y
LeahBergen @BethFishReads I'm loving them. I've been grabbing copies at used bookstores when I see them and have almost all of them now (I think I need 3 more?) They're such slyly witty books. 8y
LeahBergen @CrowCAH And they just get better and better. 😀 8y

If you like solid history and a rousing story, this is for you. Hornblower redone with better history and amusing writing. Read one and you will want them all.
