After a character-forming duel, several deadly chases and some dramatic captures and escapes, the young Hornblower is soon forged into a formidable man of the sea. n n This is the first of eleven books chronicling the nautical adventures of C. S. Forester's inimitable hero, Horatio Hornblower. n n Featuring an exclusive introduction by Bernard Cornwell, creator of Sharpe n n 'Absolutely compelling. One of the great masters of narrative' San Francisco Chronicle n
