This, the first in the splendid series of Jack Aubrey novels, establishes the friendship between Captain Aubrey, Royal Navy, and Stephen Maturin, ship's surgeon and intelligence agent, against the thrilling backdrop of the Napoleonic wars. Details of life aboard a man-of-war in Nelson's navy are faultlessly rendered: the conversational idiom of the officers in the ward room and the men on the lower deck, the food, the floggings, the mysteries of the wind and the rigging, and the road of broadsides as the great ships close in battle.

It is 1780, and 17-year-old Alan Lewrie is a brash, rebellious young libertine. So much so that his callous father believes a bit of naval discipline will turn the boy around. Fresh aboard the tall-masted Ariadne, Midshipman Lewrie heads for the war-torn Americas, finding - rather unexpectedly - that he is a born sailor, equally at home with the randy pleasures of the port and the raging battles on the high seas. But in a hail of cannonballs comes a bawdy surprise.

Story
In this thoroughly researched book the author argues convincingly that Forester's model was Adm. James Gordon, a flesh-and-blood hero of Nelson's navy. Gordon entered the Royal Navy as a semi-literate eleven-year-old and rose to become Admiral of the Fleet. He took part in major sea battles, frigate actions, single-ship duels, and operations far behind enemy lines. It was the fire of Gordon's ships against Fort McHenry that inspired the American national anthem.

Publisher's Summary
Exclusively from Audible
In the eighth instalment of C.S Forester's naval series, Horatio Hornblower finds himself down on his luck. Having been forced to surrender his ship to the French, following a long and bloody battle, he is imprisoned by his enemies and threatened with the prospect of being tried by French courts and executed if found guilty.
Knowing that he will also likely come up against a court martial in England for having lost command and possession of The Sutherland, Horatio's future is bleak and uncertain.
As his wife, Maria, struggles to deliver a healthy baby and the thought of his mistress, Lady Barbara, taunts him in his jail cell, Hornblower realises that he must do whatever it takes to prevent the impending doom heading his way and ensure that neither lady is left to fend for herself.
Hugely celebrated for his Napoleonic warfare series, and later for the publication of The African Queen, C. S. Forester came to writing much later than expected. Having originally studied medicine at Guy's Hospital, Forester first developed a love of story-telling after being inspired by his travels with the Royal Navy.
Sadly stricken with arteriosclerosis whilst voyaging to the Bering Sea, C.S. Forester was crippled in his later life, but his imagination and his skill with a pen survived for years to come.

Flying Colours
I have almost finished the Patrick O'Brian series of Capt Aubrey and was looking for something similar in the Audible library when I came across C.S. Forester. I remember the movies about Hornblower but realised I had never read the books. This was most enjoyable story, Hornblower is captured by the French and is on way to Paris to be executed when he escapes. Lots of suspense and information on the French and English navies. Christian Rodska does a good job narrating the story. Looking forward to reading all of this series.

The Character study
This is not in the usual ripping yarn style.. It is a good drama but more of a character study of Hornblower. The story is much slower paced than normal and the whole story revolves around his escape through and out of France. The reader is taken on as much a ride through his emotions, weaknesses and uncertainty as we are a flight to freedom but it is very well written and a must read if you are to maintain both the story and the man himself. However I would not reccomend as a one of sample book to read unless you are a school teacher looking for an excellent book for students to do a case study of a character which would hold the interest for either gender.

If you are a fan of naval action in the Age of Sail, C.S. Forester's Flying Colours will not disappoint. If you are familiar with the Hornblower series, you will see Horatio's character flaws manifested in action rather than imagined. You will be captured from the opening lines
to the last, a large part due to the engaging performance of the reader.

Superb narrator
Christian Rodska does a magnificent job of reading the “Hornblower” novels. He captures the internal conflicts of the eponymous character and inserts color into supporting characters. I would hope that he would read the entire series. I have read these books since I was 14 years old. Similar to the Harry Potter books of this era the Hornblower books got me into reading and into history over 50 years ago. They inspired copycat series of novels such as the “Master and Commander” and the “Richard Sharpe” books. References to the Hornblower series pop-up and other popular culture, including Star Trek.

listened to it in a day!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would certainly recommend the entire series to a friend as it it brilliantly done and a wonderful character study of a naval officer.
What did you like best about this story?
Horn blower himself, as a character. His continual nagging doubts and second guessing of his own motives.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
I enjoyed very much his escape from captivity and subsequent time in France.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
The reluctant hero
Any additional comments?
Hugely enjoyed the whole series and sad that this is the penultimate book.

I started listening to this audio book having just finished Ship of the Line but intended to keep it until I was back to driving to work each day. The storyline and performance was so good though that I couldn’t stop listening. I finished it a couple of days later and I’m so glad I did. This is actually the most dramatic of the Hornblower books so far.

One of my favourites of the Hornblower books - good to have Hornblower on the receiving end of some good fortune for a change. Good too that this series is well read. Too many audio books are spoilt by their readers: improbable accents and rushed delivery are the most common offences, but Christian Rodska has delivered an excellently paced read once again.

Greatest of naval warfare
The story continues, a shame as we near the ending of these superb novels, of Mr C.S.Forestor , he grabs you by the throat, and your captured and you must know what happens, to the Captain and his men, his Ship. But telling, is not good, please listen to the narrator, great as a author and novel, and especially by the Narrator, 10 out of ten.
