About this audiobook
Only twenty-seven years old, Horatio Hornblower has distinguished himself as a capable and intrepid officer in the Royal Navy. On a reconnaissance mission with the Hotspur, a three-masted frigate under his command, Hornblower and his crew narrowly avoid capture by their French adversaries, but the danger is not over. In the meantime, misgivings about his recent marriage also weigh heavily on the young officer's mind. In this 10th novel of the Hornblower series, C.S. Forester depicts another rousing adventure set during the Napoleonic wars.
