Drifting even further off topic, if you're looking for "Horatio
Hornblower in space", then you should try reading the Seafort Saga by
David Feintuch:
1: Midshipman's Hope
2: Challenger's Hope
3: Prisoner's Hope
4: Fisherman's Hope
5: Voices of Hope
6: Patriarch's Hope
7: Children of Hope
The books are better than his unimaginative titles would suggest. :-)
That last one was published in 2001, so there might even be more now.
