Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisHornblower confronts pirates, revolutionaries, and a blistering hurricane in this "excellent" installment ( The Atlantic ) in C. S. Forester's beloved saga of naval adventures. In the chaotic aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, the legendary Rear Admiral Lord Hornblower struggles to impose order. Serving as commander-in-chief of His Majesty's ships and vessels in the West Indies, Hornblower confronts a formidable array of hostile forces. The war is over, but peaceful it is not. "A rattling good story." -- New York Times
