The literary character Captain Horatio Hornblower appeared in 17 novels by author C.S. Forester. The books were published over 30 years, from 1937 to 1967. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry loved these stories, and patterned much of Trek, and particularly the character James T. Kirk, after them. Co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto take a look at the similarities in this episode of 70s Trek.
