Παρουσίαση
The nineteenth century dawns and the Napoleonic Wars rage as Horatio Hornblower faces the fury of the French and Spanish fleets combined.Amidst the hissing of wet wads, the stifling heat of white-hot cannon shot and the clamour of a mutinous crew, new Lieutenant Hornblower will need all of his seafaring cunning to overcome his first challenge in independent command on the high seas. And while the blood flows thick amidst relentless violence aboard a beleaguered HMS Renown, the aftermath of war promises intrigue of an entirely different order: Maria, a young senorita, who might just soften the steely resolve of a young lieutenant.
This is the second of eleven books chronicling the nautical adventures of C. S. Forester's inimitable hero, Horatio Hornblower. (From the publisher)
"One of the best...Everyone interested in war, or in human nature, should read this fascinating tale" (THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT)
