This is the seventh novel in the Horatio Hornblower saga. In it, Hornblower emerges from his apprenticeship as midshipman to assume the responsibilities that await him as a lieutenant. Chronologically this novel falls between MR. MIDSHIPMAN HORNBLOWER and CAPTAIN HORATIO HORNBLOWER. It works us alongside this lanky and laconic young man who distinguishes himself in his first independent command. "The young Hornblower is all one can wish of a naval hero at the start of his meteoric career." (Library Journal)
