April 1803 – July 1805
April 1803. The Peace of Amiens is breaking down. Napoleon is building ships and amassing an army just across the Channel. Horatio Hornblower — who, at age twenty–seven, has already distinguished himself as one of the most daring and resourceful officers in the Royal Navy — commands the three–masted Hotspur on a dangerous reconnaissance mission that evolves, as war breaks out, into a series of spectacular confrontations. All the while, the introspective young commander stuggles to understand his new bride and mother–in–law, his officers and crew, and his own “accursed unhappy temperment — matters that trouble him more, perhaps, than any of Bonaparte’s cannonballs.
