Aggiungere al carrelloHornblower is captured by the French and faces execution in a Paris prison in this "most satisfying" chapter (Times Literary Supplement) in C. S. Fore ster's beloved naval adventure series. Forced to surrender his ship, the Sutherland, after a long and bloody battl e, Captain Horatio Hornblower now bides his time as a prisoner in a French fortress. Within days he and his first lieutenant, Bush, who was crippled i n the last fight, are to be taken to Paris to be tried on trumped-up charge s of violating the laws of war, and most probably executed as part of Napol eon's attempt to rally the war-weary empire behind him. Even if Hornblower escapes this fate and somehow finds his way back to Engl and, he will face court-martial for his surrender of a British ship. As fea rs for his life and his reputation compete in his mind with worries about h is pregnant wife and his possibly widowed lover, the indomitable captain im patiently awaits the chance to make his next move. Editorial Reviews "Stacks up with the most exciting and best written adventure stories in the language."-Time - From the Publisher.
