Publisher Description
Follow the thrilling and exciting adventures of Horatio Hornblower's life at sea in the Royal Navy, in these three classic stories.
Hornblower and the Atropos
Skippering the flagship for Nelson's funeral on the Thames is not Hornblower's idea of thrilling action. But soon his orders come, and he sets sail for the Mediterranean in the Atropos. Battle, storm, shipwreck, disease - what were the chances that he would never come back again?
The Happy Return
Hornblower sails the South American waters and comes face to face with a mad, messianic revolutionary in this gripping adventure.
A Ship of the Line
Commando raids, hurricanes at sea, the glowering menace of Napoleon's onshore gun batteries - Hornblower must deal with them all as he sails his ship to the Spanish station.
Customer Reviews
Captain Hornblower R.N.
Even over 40 years since I first read this series it still raises my emotions as I live with the principal character.
A great shame that the spelling mistakes crept into this edition.
