The final Horatio Hornblower story tells of Napoleon's plans to invade England . . .
Set in 1805, Hornblower and the Crisis finds Horatio Hornblower in possession of confidential dispatches from Bonaparte after a vicious hand-to-hand encounter with a French brig. The admiralty rewards Hornblower by sending him on a dangerous espionage mission that will light the powder trail leading to the battle of Trafalgar . . .
Hornblower and the Crisis was unfinished at the time of Forester's death, but the author left notes - included here - telling us how the tale would end.

This is the final book chronicling the adventures of C. S. Forester's inimitable nautical hero, Horatio Hornblower.
