The Hornblower series is based on C.S. Forester’s classic maritime adventures — the story of one young man’s struggle to become a leader of men. Set against the back drop of the 18th century Anglo–French wars, the bloodiest time in British naval history. Spithead, Portsmouth, 1794. Under thundery skies and in lashing rain, a 17 year old midshipman takes the first tentative steps of his naval career, but a deadly feud with a despicable mate is causing complications.
