Hornblower and the Crisis

C.S. Forester

Fantastic new B format package for the entire Hornblower series

The final Horatio Hornblower story tells of Napoleon’s plans to invade England …

Set in 1805, Hornblower and the Crisis finds Horatio Hornblower in possession of confidential dispatches from Bonaparte after a vicious hand-to-hand encounter with a French brig. The admiralty rewards Hornblower by sending him on a dangerous espionage mission that will light the powder trail leading to the battle of Trafalgar …

Hornblower and the Crisis was unfinished at the time of Forester’s death, but the author left notes - included here - telling us how the tale would end. Also included are two further stories - Hornblower and the Widow McCool and The Last Encounter - that tell of Hornblower as a very young and very old man, respectively.

This is the final book chronicling the adventures of C. S. Forester’s inimitable nautical hero, Horatio Hornblower.
