Spine curved, cover shows edgewear, rubbing and creasing. Text starting to yellow and cracked at p. 150, but clean and unmarked. "The newly promoted Commander Hornblower faces his most trying assignment in this, the third episode in the world-famous Hornblower saga. Ignoring the lure of prize money, he risks death to defend the British Atlantic Fleet from a French warship many times the size of his own sloop, Hotspur. It is 1803. War with France has resumed, and Napoleon is preparing for a naval conquest of England. Hornblower, attached to the English Channel Fleet, is commissioned with the Hotspur to act as a spy along the French coast, near Brest. He masterminds a daring plan to sabotage a major signaling station on French soil - a plan that nearly fails before culminating in a spectacularly successful land raid. And then he sails on. Harried by blizzards and short of supplies, Hornblower - a genius at the helm and an intrepid warrior always - fights his way to brilliant victories and recognition by non other than the Admiral of the Fleet himself."; 6" - 7" Tall
