Hornblower and the Hotspur
C. S Forester
Hornblower’s reconnaissance mission quickly turns to warfare in this installment of the beloved series of naval adventures by C. S. Forester, a master of the genre (New York Times).
April 1803. The Peace of Amiens is breaking down. Napoleon is building ships and amassing an army just across the Channel. Horatio Hornblower – who, at age twenty-seven, has already distinguished himself as one of the most daring and resourceful officers in the Royal Navy – commands the three-masted Hotspur on a dangerous reconnaissance mission that evolves, as war breaks out, into a series of spectacular confrontations.
All the while, the introspective young commander struggles to understand his new bride and mother-in-law, his officers and crew, and his own accursed unhappy temperament – matters that trouble him more, perhaps, than any of Bonaparte’s cannonballs.
