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 and 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. Quite a scarce book.

Her first assignment under Hornblower's command is as flagship for the funeral procession of Lord Nelson. Soon Atropos is part of the Mediterranean Fleet's harassment of Napoleon, recovering treasure that lies deep in Turkish waters and boldly challenging a Spanish frigate several times her size. At the centre of each adventure is Hornblower, Forester's most inspired creation, whose blend of cautious preparation and spirited execution dazzles friend and foe alike. One of C. S. Forester's (1899-1966), classic tales of his naval hero Horatio Hornblower, set during the Napoleonic wars.
