Description
Horatio Hornblower faces his greatest challenge in 1812 as he is appointed Commodore. His mission is to protect Britain's interests in northern waters, but this proves to be a daunting task. He must contend with treacherous weather conditions, navigate complex Russian politics and commerce, avoid the dangers of royalty and assassination, and face hostile armies and French privateers. The fate of Europe hangs in the balance as Hornblower battles against Napoleon's empire. With his responsibilities weighing heavily on his shoulders, he must use all his skills and experience to succeed. This eighth book in the series chronicles another thrilling adventure for C.S. Forester's iconic nautical hero. A gripping tale of war, politics and survival, The Commodore is a compelling read for fans of historical fiction and action-adventure stories.
