I know my voice will be lost among the other recommendations and there is no way for you to tell that what I am about to say is the answer you really want. I fancy I know why you like Hornblower which is why I recommend the historical fiction by Raphael Sabatini. Start with “Captain Blood” and if you don’t care for it then please message me and tell me why not. I like to keep track of when I am wrong, happens often I’m afraid, but not this time. (Ignore the silly Hollywood movies which claimed to be based on his books such as “Captain Blood” starring Erroll Flynn.)

Raphael Sabatini!
“Scaramouche”
“The Sea Hawk”

I’m actually a big fan of The film Captain Blood, I dig Errol Flynn and B and W films from back in the day. I will take your recommendations to heart I assure you. Thanks

I read Captain Blood and the Errol Flynn movie followed it quite closely.
