Bertram Chandler and the John Grimes series:</b><br>“SF’s answer to Horatio Hornblower.” —<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><br>“As Asimov chronicled the Foundation, as Heinlein built his Future History, so Chandler constructs the epic of the Rim Worlds.” —<i>Analog</i><br><br>“[Grimes] establishes a loyalty in his readers rather similar to that felt by readers of Hornblower.
