Beschreibung
November 1810 – June 1811Captain Horatio Hornblower is a prisoner in the French fortress of Rosas, having had to surrender his ship, the Sutherland, after a long and bloody battle. Within days he and his first lieutenant, Bush, who was crippled in the last fight, will be taken to Paris to be tried on trumped-up charges of violating the laws of war, and most probably executed as an attempt by Napoleon to rally the war-weary empire behind him. Even if Hornblower escapes this fate, and somehow finds his way back to England, he will have to face courtmartial for his surrender of a British ship.

Another daring and exciting tale of Horatio Hornblower! Every turn of this book had new obstacles and chances of defeat for Hornblower, but he just kept getting by and proved his character time and again. The ending of this one was quite emotional and shined a bit more light on his personal side and endearing him to us even more.
