Description

In this gripping story of uncertainty and success on the high-seas, Horatio Hornblower exists from his apprenticeship as midshipman to manage new tasks thrust upon him by the prospects of battle between Napoleon and Spain. Suffering near-mutiny, soft hand-to-hand fight with Spanish seamen, terrace-splintering ocean fights, and the hatred and terror of living on the fighting ships of the Napoleonic Wars, the youthful lieutenant separates herself in his first independent control. Karen: An adventure is also faced by him distinctive in his knowledge.
