More about the book
November 1810 – June 1811 Captain Horatio Hornblower is a prisoner in the French fortress of Rosas, having had to surrender his ship, the Sutherland , after a long and bloody battle. Within days he and his first lieutenant, Bush, who was crippled in the last fight, will be taken to Paris to be tried on trumped-up charges of violating the laws of war, and most probably executed as an attempt by Napoleon to rally the war-weary empire behind him. Even if Hornblower escapes this fate, and somehow finds his way back to England, he will have to face courtmartial for his surrender of a British ship.
