   Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. I read this right after Ship of the Line because that one ends on a cliffhanger. Holy cow, does this wrap things up! This is one book in the series where character development took front & center, witha windfall of plot developments at the end. I wish A&E had got this far! (  ) beautifulshell | Aug 27, 2020 |  I liked this book a lot. Perhaps a little melancholy in Hornblower's introspection but I loved reading about the relationship between Hornblower/Bush/Brown... mutual respect. A bit predictable in spots but other than that a great read. (  ) Lynxear | Jun 22, 2019 | HOracio se escapa y recorre Francia, lo protege un noble ex emigrado y su nuera. Roba un barco y vuelve a Inglaterra para enfrentar un consejo de guerra (  ) gneoflavio | Apr 14, 2018 | Engaging and tense. Forester takes Hornblower and Co. out of their comfort zone. Bitter Sweet at the end...but that's life. ( ) Joe73 | Apr 23, 2017 | This book follows up on the heels of Ship of the Line. As far as naval adventures go, it's an odd one. Captain Hornblower doesn't sail on the sea until page 175. Instead he gets a taste of imprisonment--the fallout from the disaster he faced at the end of the last volume--and faces his own mortality. Rather than worrying for himself, however, he thinks of his loved ones, his crew and his reputation. Of course, when danger and opportunity arises, Hornblower plunges in and comes through with... (nah, too easy) Like the rest of the series, it was a very enjoyable read. I wasn't entirely satisfied with the ending of this, the original Hornblower trilogy, however. It tied up the loose ends a little too nicely. Still, it's a small flaw in a remarkable series. --J. (  ) Hamburgerclan | Mar 3, 2017 | inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
A humiliated and shipless captive of the French, Horatio Hornblower faces execution unless he can escape and make a triumphant return to England . . . Forced to surrender his ship, HMS Sutherland, after a long and bloody battle, Captain Horatio Hornblower is held prisoner in a French fortress. Prospects turn bleaker when he learns that he and Lt. Bush are to be tried and executed in Paris as part of Napoleon's attempts to rally the war-weary Empire. Even if Hornblower can escape this fate and make it safe to England, he still faces court-martial for surrendering his ship. With little hope for the future and little left to lose, Hornblower throws caution to the wind once more. This is the seventh of eleven books chronicling the adventures of C. S. Forester's inimitable nautical hero, Horatio Hornblower. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
