β¦ Synopsis
1815, the Napoleonic Wars are over. Yet peace continues to elude Horatio Hornblower overseas οΏ½ As an admiral struggling to impose order in the chaotic aftermath of the French wars, Horatio Hornblower, Commander-in-chief of His MajestyοΏ½s 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 οΏ½ not to mention his courage and leadership οΏ½ 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. ForesterοΏ½s inimitable nautical hero, Horatio Hornblower.
