Captain from Connecticut ReviewEverything that I loved about Forester's Hornblower novels is found in 'The Captain From Connecticut.' From brilliant sea battles, to duels of honor, to personal fears, this is a novel in great Forester tradition. The plot centers on the sea war between America and England in the closing months of the conflict. After the French Monarchy has been restored the new republic fears the full weight of the British Empire will come to bear on it. It is at this desperate time in the history of the United States that the novel's protaganist, Captain Peabody, must make a daring escape from the British blockade in order to threaten British interests in the Caribbean. Make no mistake, though, this is not simply a Hornblower knock-off. Captain Peabody is an original creation that could only come from the mind of a master story teller. For anyone interested in warfare in the age of the sail this is must reading and fans of great adventure will no doubt love it too.Captain from Connecticut OverviewHere we find Captain Josiah Peabody, the American hero in Forester's book about the war of 1812, cruising the Atlantic and Caribbean wrecking destruction and confounding the British as he disturbs the West Indian trade. Making a difficult passage between keeping his powerful frigate of the Constitution class free from major damage while still forcing the world's most powerful navy to expend ships to try and control him, Captain Peabody works his Yankee ingenuity to aid the British to capture a rapacious pirate. The grasp of Peabody's grim childhood on his character is broken by his discovery of love with the beautiful and understanding daughter of the French Governor of Martinique. As Peabody grows aware of, and warms to, human emotions he previously thought sinful, he becomes a better man, and a better captain, who even looks forward to a world without fighting. In this novel, the reader sees excitement, challenge, and the forces of human nature combine into a good read from Forester's masterful pen.
