Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A Fine copy in a Very Good plus, clipped dust jacket with gentle wear to the extremities. The seventeen-year-old Hornblower became notorious as soon as he stepped on board 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. Forester takes us right beside Hornblower as he prepares to fight his first duel, feels the heat as he battles to control a blazing ship and shares his horror as he experiences for the first time the panic of the Plague.
