Forester, C.S. Lieutenant Hornblower. First Edition. London, Michael Joseph Ltd., 1952. 12.5cm x 19cm. 304 pages. Original hardcover with dustjacket in protective Mylar. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. The nineteenth century dawns and the Napoleonic Wars rage as Horatio Hornblower faces the fury of the French and Spanish fleets combined. Amidst the hissing of wet wads, the stifling heat of white-hot cannonshot and the clamour of a mutinous crew, new Lieutenant Hornblower will need all of his seafaring cunning to overcome his first challenge in independent command on the high seas. And while blood and violence flow thick and fast aboard a beleaguered HMS Renown, the aftermath of war promises intrigue of an entirely different order: Maria, a young señorita, who might just soften the steely resolve of a young lieutenant. Although it was the seventh Hornblower book written by Forester, this is the second in chronological order of eleven books on the adventures of C. S. Forester’s inimitable nautical hero, Horatio Hornblower. [Amazon]
