Hornblower: Duty
The Hornblower collection is predicated on C.S. Forester’s traditional maritime adventures – the story of 1 younger man’s battle to turn into a pacesetter of males. Set towards the again drop of the 18th century Anglo-French wars, the bloodiest time in British naval historical past. Admiral Pellew interrupts Hornblower’s wedding ceremony reception and duties him to find a British ship which has disappeared off the French coast, the place Napoleon’s troops are engaged in covert actions.
