To be Commander-in-Chief of the West Indies, with nothing more to worry about than the suppression of the slave trade, the hunting down of piracy and the policing of the Caribbean, was pure joy to Rear Admiral Lord Hornblower. As an admiral struggling to impose order in the chaotic aftermath of the French wars, Horatio Hornblower, Commander-in-Chief of His Majesty's ships and vessels in the West Indies, must still face savage pirates, reckless revolutionaries and a violent hurricane, as well as dealing with an attempt to rescue Napoleon from exile - and being kidnapped. While his retirement at half-pay might well be in sight, Hornblower will need every ounce of his rapier wit and quick thinking - not to mention his courage and leadership - to ensure that the lasting peace in Europe reaches the turbulent seas of the West Indies.
