A Horatio Hornblower Tale of the Sea May, 1810 - and
thirty-nine-year-old Captain Horatio Hornblower has been handed his
first ship of the line . . . Though the seventy-four-gun HMS
Sutherland is 'the ugliest and least desirable two-decker in the
Navy' and a crew shortage means he must recruit two hundred and
fifty landlubbers, Hornblower knows that by the time Sutherland and
her squadron reach the blockaded Catalonian coast every seaman will
do his duty. But with daring raids against the French army and navy
to be made, it will take all Hornblower's seamanship - and
stewardship - to steer a steady course to victory and home . . .
This is the sixth of eleven books chronicling the adventures of C.
S. Forester's inimitable nautical hero, Horatio Hornblower. 'I
recommend Forester to every literate I know' Ernest Hemingway
