Join young Horatio Hornblower in the thrilling naval adventure from
the author of The Good Shepherd, now a major-motion picture
starring Tom Hanks 'A joyous creation, a perfection in words. Young
Hornblower is, simply, one of the most complete creations of
character in fiction' Conn Iggulden, The Independent _______ 1793,
the eve of the Napoleonic Wars, and Midshipman Horatio Hornblower
receives his first command . . . As a seventeen-year-old with a
touch of sea sickness, young Horatio Hornblower hardly cuts a dash
in His Majesty's navy. Yet from the moment he is ordered to board a
French merchant ship in the Bay of Biscay and take command of crew
and cargo, he proves his seafaring mettle on the waves. After a
character-forming duel, several deadly chases and some dramatic
captures and escapes, the young Hornblower is soon forged into a
formidable man of the sea. This is the first of eleven books
chronicling the nautical adventures of C. S. Forester's inimitable
hero, Horatio Hornblower. _______ 'Absolutely compelling. One of
the great masters of narrative' San Francisco Chronicle
