Books with title Lieutenant Hornblower CD

1800: William Bush boards the H.M.S. RENOWN as third lieutenant. As they set off to the West Indies, he strikes up an acquaintance with Horatio Hornblower - no longer the nervous midshipman of yesteryear, but an intelligent and quietly capable fifth lieutenant. The RENOWN, however, is a tense, oppressive ship under the insane Captain Sawyer, whose paranoia and irrational behaviour undermine discipline, and threaten to destabilise the whole unhappy crew. And what are Bush, Hornblower, and their fellow officers to do, when even daring to whisper of Sawyer's unfitness for command could have them all hanged for conspiracy to commit mutiny?

The Second Horatio Hornblower Tale of the Sea The nineteenth century dawns and the Napoleonic Wars rage as Horatio Hornblower is ordered to the Caribbean and dangerous waters. New Lieutenant Hornblower's latest ship is HMS Renown, a sound vessel whose captain is unfortunately of rather unsound mind. When ordered to attack a Spanish anchorage, the chain of command breaks down and it requires all of Hornblower's seafaring cunning to avert disaster. As cannons pound and splinters fly aboard their beleaguered vessel, and the men are forced to engage at close quarters, the young lieutenant knows that to save his ship and crew he must prove himself a master of the high seas . . . This is the second of eleven books chronicling the adventures of C. S. Forester's inimitable nautical hero, Horatio Hornblower. Featuring an exclusive introduction by Bernard Cornwell, creator of Sharpe 'One of the best. Everyone interested in war, or in human nature, should read this fascinating tale' The Times Literary Supplement
