Description
A Horatio Hornblower Tale of the Sea1815, the Napoleonic Wars are over. Yet peace continues to elude Horatio Hornblower overseas . . .As an admiral struggling to impose order in the chaotic aftermath of the French wars, Horatio Hornblower, Commander-in-chief of His Majesty''s ships and vessels in the West Indies, must still face savage pirates, reckless revolutionaries and a violent hurricane. And while his retirement at half-pay might well be in sight, Hornblower will need every ounce of his rapier wit and quick thinking - not to mention his courage and leadership - to ensure that the lasting peace in Europe reaches the turbulent seas of the West Indies.This is the tenth of eleven books chronicling the adventures of C. S. Forester''s inimitable nautical hero, Horatio Hornblower.''The true master of the genre'' Boris Johnson
