And I say incomplete deliberately, as C.S. Forester died before he could complete this work, although he left notes over where it was heading
What we have is, thus, more or less the opening act to the story: Hornblower, heading back to England for a new posting after handing over command of the Hotspur, finds himself engaged in a boarding action against a French vessel and, subsequently, in possession of some very important piece of information that may answer the age-old question of just why Trafalgar was fought when the French and Spanish fleet had no need to at all ...
it's just a pity that Forester never got the chance to finish the story.

Nov 3, 2019
The story centres round the Berkeley Mystery Walls, strange walls in California that are ancient and don't seem to be marking territory and whom no one knows who built them and what their purpose is, and the disappearance of a girl. Nolan Moore and his Anomaly Files crew turn up to investigate and things start getting more and more strange, creepy and out of this world as they go along.
Do you have to have read the previous book to get any of this? Not at all, you can jump straight into this as a separate story although after reading the Anomaly I was really keen to get The Possession and I wasn't disappointed. It is a tense thrilling hell ride from start to finish with no simple answers and solutions, just the great characters from the first book back bumbling through as best they can to try and save the world. Its great fun, full of well researched strange events and massive adventure. Its refreshing to have a voice in horror that throws away the cliches and instead makes a modern story entirely of their own. Lets hope there are many more novels to come.

In this one, Lyle finds himself hunting down a stolen possession, in a bid to return it to its rightful owner who has taken hostage of the son of an old friend, with that owner believing that said son had stolen it (he hasn't).
With only - roughly - five chapters, each chapter is given over to one day in the week of Lyle's efforts to retrieve the item, culminating in a fight on Portsmouth Point and with key recurring players from the previous two novellas also getting an appearance.
Of necessity (because of the length), there's therefore not much room for plot in this one: It's a pretty straightforward tale of derring do!
