Well, I googled "Hornblower audiobooks" which led me to a thread on a board (Puzo.org) which had ALL the Hornblower books listed. I had to use Google's cache of the website, since the url led nowhere. Apparently each book was divided up into at least two parts (probably for ease of uploading/downloading). When I copy/pasted the first part of "Mr. Midshipman Hornblower," I was taken to the rapidshare site. According to the page I was on, the first part of the book was just over 104MB. Since this was (IMHO) a site for pirated audiobooks, I decided to forego downloading it. No telling what may have been put on the download! Oh, well. I can still get the books in paperback form from Amazon.com. I just don't like being forced into buying more bulky (compared to ebooks) books. You guys should see my bedroom! All I would have to do is remove my bed/dresser/nightstand . . . and redecorate a bit to have a neat little den/library! Of course, I could (even though it would be a huge PITA) get the books from the public library or buy them from Amazon and scan the pages onto my computer, then assemble them into Plucker ebooks.
I was recently on YouTube and entered "Hornblower" into the search box. I got quite a lot of videos taken from the A&E series, but none from the original (starring Gregory Peck), which IMHO is the best of them all!
Just why Forester's Hornblower books are not in PD is a mystery to me, since others of his are!
