Mr Midshipman Hornblower Author:C.S. Forester Young Hornblower
When he first came aboard H.M. Frigate Indefatigable raking predate of the seas--he was just a gawky kid. Before he'd even had time to learn the difference between a head and halliard, he suddenly found himself in command of a captured French ship fighting for his life with a cursing rebellious crew.
