Product Description
A Horatio Hornblower Tale of the Sea
June, 1808 - and off the Coast of Nicaragua Captain Horatio Hornblower has his hands full . . .
Now in command of HMS Lydia, a thirty-six-gun frigate, Hornblower has instructions to form an alliance against the Spanish colonies with a mad and messianic revolutionary, El Supremo; to find a water route across the Central American isthmus; and ''to take, sink, burn or destroy'' the fifty-gun Spanish ship of the line Natividad - or face court-martial. And as if he did not have enough trouble, Hornblower must also contend with the beguiling charms of an unwanted passenger: Lady Barbara Wellesley . . .
This is the fifth of eleven books chronicling the adventures of C. S. Forester''s inimitable nautical hero, Horatio Hornblower.
''I find Hornblower admirable, vastly entertaining'' Sir Winston Churchill
