The first omnibus edition bringing together The Commodore (1945) and Lord Hornblower (1946), two celebrated installments in C. S. Forester's enduring series of Napoleonic naval adventures.

Lord Hornblower follows his further service, including a dangerous mission involving a mutinous British vessel and the changing fortunes of the Napoleonic Wars.

Set against the Napoleonic Wars, the series portrays the Royal Navy as both a fighting institution and a demanding social world governed by rank, reputation, and political obligation.
