1815, the Napoleonic Wars are over. Yet, peace continues to elude Horatio Hornblower overseas. As an admiral
struggling to impose order in the chaotic aftermath of the French wars, Horatio Hornblower, Commander-in-chief
of His Majesty's 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 - not to mention his courage and leadership - 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. Forester's inimitable nautical hero, Horatio Hornblower.
About The Reader
Christian Rodska (born September 5, 1945 in Northumberland) is a versatile British actor who has appeared in many
television and radio series and narrated a number of audiobooks. He enjoys audio books "because the listener can
absorb a novel in conditions that don.t require specifically sitting down to read," he explains. "I love the
thought that audio books make every genre of literature accessible to people in all walks of life who, in some
circumstances, may not necessarily have time to read and may come upon works they may never have dreamed of
approaching.
