Commodore Hornblower by C S Forester

It is 1812, and Hornblower has been given sole responsibility for protecting the Baltic trade and stopping the spread of Napoleon's empire into Sweden and Russia. His instructions are to sacrifice every man and his ship rather than surrender. The author also wrote "The African Queen".

Forester was born in Cairo, Egypt, in 1899, where his father worked for the government. He joined the Ministry of Information at the onset of the war and afterwards sailed with the Royal Navy. The most famous sailor in current fiction was established in the HORNBLOWER novels. In 1966, he passed away. Forester was born in Cairo, Egypt, in 1899, where his father worked for the government.
