Reading creases, very minor edgewear, corners slightly bumped. A nice, attractive copy. "The newly promoted Commander Hornblower faces his most trying assignment in this, the third episode in the world-famous Hornblower saga. Ignoring the lure of prize money, he risks death to defend the British Atlantic Fleet from a French warship many times the size of his own sloop, Hotspur. It is 1803. War with France has resumed, and Napoleon is preparing for a naval conquest of England. Hornblower, attached to the English Channel Fleet, is commissioned with the Hotspur to act as a spy along the French coast, near Brest. He masterminds a daring plan to sabotage a major signaling station on French soil - a plan that nearly fails before culminating in a spectacularly successful land raid. And then he sails on. Harried by blizzards and short of supplies, Hornblower - a genius at the helm and an intrepid warrior always - fights his way to brilliant victories and recognition by non other than the Admiral of the Fleet himself."
