Publisher's Synopsis

Join young Horatio Hornblower in the thrilling naval adventure from the author of The Good Shepherd, now a major-motion picture starring Tom Hanks

'A joyous creation, a perfection in words. Young Hornblower is, simply, one of the most complete creations of character in fiction' Conn Iggulden, The Independent

Seventeen-year-old Hornblower became notorious as soon as he stepped on board a ship - as the midshipman who was seasick in Spithead. But he was soon to gain his sea legs.

Amid battle, action and adventure he proves himself time and time again - courageous in danger, resourceful in moments of difficulty and decisive in times of trouble.

Stand right beside Hornblower as he prepares to fight his first duel.

Feel the heat as he battles to control a blazing ship.

Share his horror as he experiences for the first time the panic of the Plague.

This omnibus edition contains:

· Mr Midshipman Hornblower
· Lieutenant Hornblower
· Hornblower and the 'Hotspur'
