Hornblower: The Examination for Lieutenant

When you are in command of a disintegrating ship with a crew potentially infected with plague and cattle dying of thirst, it isn’t a easy to get a bit of studying done. Even Chuck Norris would have a hard time doing that. But not Hornblower, he handles this sort of challenge blindfold. Outstanding, but still a little worse than the first part. Everything in this part is fully focused on Horatio, which is logical, I suppose, but ignoring the rest of the crew hurts. While part one thrived on the division of focus, part two suffers from avoiding it. Not that much, but a bit. (12.02.2010)
