Read by the star of the new TV series, another of C.S. Forester's famous Hornblower novels on abridged audio for the first time. Fresh from the triumphs of the Flying Colours, Hornblower is on a desperate mission. Leading a powerful squadron into northern waters with the aim of hampering the onslaughts of Naploeon's armies, Hornblower is confronted by fog, ice and snow in the Baltic, with the navies of both Russia, Sweden and French privateers, and with high politics and vital commerce. For a few months the fate of Europe is balanced on a knife edge - and the responsibility is his.
