Beat to Quarters (Horatio Hornblower Series #6)

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Another exciting addition to our growing collection of sea stories, Beat to Quarters is a favorite among devotees of Horatio Hornblower, England's most durable sailor.

The creation of C.S. Forester (African Queen, The Good Shepherd), Hornblower is known and admired throughout the Western world. Winston Churchill was a notable enthusiast; he mentioned Hornblower in his WW II memoirs.

In Beat to Quarters, a still young Hornblower is captain of the 36-gun frigate Lydia. He sets his course for Spain and Nicaragua in his ongoing quest to cut Napoleon's lines wherever he crosses them.
