Hornblower Saga: Chronological Order #3

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.
