Product Description
April 1803, and the Peace of Amiens is failing as Horatio Hornblower takes a three-master on a vital reconnaissance mission. On the day of his marriage to Maria, Hornblower is ordered to take the Hotspur and head for Brest - war is coming and Napoleon will not catch His Majesty's navy with its britches round its ankles. With thoughts of his new life as a husband intruding on his duties, Hornblower must prove himself to be not only the most capable commander in the fleet, but also its most daring if he is to stop the French gaining the upper hand. This is the third of eleven books chronicling the adventures of C. S. Forester's inimitable nautical hero, Horatio Hornblower.

A Junkie's Delight! November 16, 2008
Fantastic shape and just what a newly made Hornblower junkie could ask for - a great cover, great "hand", easy to hold, lightweight and arrived before I could even start to wonder when my order might arrive! Just like being Amazon!

Great Adventure Novel January 22, 2008
Hornblower is one of the very best literary characters ever and all of his stories are compelling with lots of gritty action. The language may be difficult for some as it is archaic and filled with jargon, but it is worth it to take the time and enter into the world of the Royal Navy.

I have now bought the whole series so I can watch it for myself in the order they were filmed.
This is a great adventure and fun to watch.

A Wonderful Friendship September 8, 2006
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is the next Hornblower chronologically, it was not the next one written. Now that the series is completed it makes sense to read it as Hornblower's career progresses in the Royal Navy.

The whole series is a pleasure to read full of action and adventure; with enough time for a little romance.

Get acquainted with one of the most popular characters in modern literature.

After reading this you will be back for more. And that is a wonderful thing.

Brings the moment to vivid life February 1, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This novel was written after 'Beat To Quarters', but chronogically takes place before.

This was my favorite in the series. A landlubber all my life, Mr. Forester's writing brings the seaman's life to vivid imagery.

Hornblower is in command of the Hotspur and for part of the story is autonomous on the seas, indulging in his spirit of adventure. Every sea battle is unique. It's during the time of the Napleonic war from the British point of view.

I've read this novel a few times. Even knowing what happens next, once I start reading I can hardly put it down.

Great GREAT book.
