Hornblower during the Crisis by C S Forester
Although unfinished at the time of C. S. Forester's death, Hornblower During the Crisis delivers a full measure of action at sea-the hallmark of this incomparably exciting series of historical adventures. On the threshold of securing his first post as captain, Hornblower finds himself forced by the exigencies of war to fight alongside a man whom he has unintentionally helped to court-martial. And for the first time Hornblower assents to engaging in espionage in his efforts to bring victory and glory to England in the Napoleonic Wars. This extant fragment of Forester's final Hornblower novel is followed by the author's notes regarding the novel's conclusion. Also included in this volume are two stories--Hornblower's Temptation- and -The Last Encounter--that depict the great sea dog Hornblower in his youth and old age, respectively.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.
