{"product_id":"ship-of-the-line-hornblower-saga-paperback-1","title":"Ship of the Line (Hornblower Saga (Paperback))","description":"Hornblower leads his first ship of the line into enemy waters in this installment of C. S. Forester's beloved adventure series, called \"exciting, realistic, packed with grand naval action\" by the New Yorker.\n\n\nMay 1810, seventeen years deep into the Napoleonic Wars. Captain Horatio Hornblower is newly in command of his first ship of the line, the seventy-four-gun HMS Sutherland, which he deems \"the ugliest and least desirable two-decker in the Navy List.\" Moreover, she is 250 men short of a full crew, so Hornblower must enlist and train \"poachers, bigamists, sheepstealers,\" and other landlubbers.\n\nBy the time the Sutherland reaches the blockaded Catalonian coast of Spain, the crew is capable of staging five astonishing solo raids against the French. But the grisly prospect of defeat and capture looms for both captain and crew as the Sutherland single-handedly takes on four French ships.\n\n\"A fine sea tale, to be ranked with the best of its kind.\" --New York Times\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0316289361\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0316289361.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Forester, C.
