"This eleventh and final volume in Forester's classic naval series finds Captain Horatio Hornblower struggling to do his part to bring glory and victory to England during the Napoleonic Wars. When the urgent demands of war force Hornblower to fight alongside a man whom he has unintentionally helped to court martial, he finds himself in the most awkward position of his career. Although the tale was incomplete at Forester's death, the author's notes made it possible to finish the manuscript with the drama and detail of action at sea for which the series is known."
