| Summary: | 7th in the Hornblower series. "1803. Peace with France forces Hornblower to earn a living at the card tables, where he shows nearly as much skill as he does on the high seas. Meanwhile, a chance encounter with an old friend sheds light on a burgeoning romance--it seems the winsome Maria, the landlady's daughter, only has eyes for our hero. But affairs of the heart take a back seat to affairs of state when Hornblower is given command of the sloop Hotspur. On a reconnaissance mission off the French coast, he discovers preparations for an invasion force, and with war again declard, Admiral Pellew decides to mount a pre-emptive strike. Hornblower, however, cannot take part, for he has been betrayed and imprisoned"--Container. |
