In April 1803, the Peace of Amiens has just about broken down. Napoleon is amassing his forces just across the Channel whilst Horatio Hornblower - one of the most daring officers in the British Navy - sets off on a dangerous reconnaissance mission on board the Hotspur. This is Forester's classic tale of naval warfare in the 19th century.
