  The nineteenth century dawns and the Napoleonic Wars rage as Horatio Hornblower faces the fury of the French and Spanish fleets combined. Amidst the hissing of wet wads, the stifling heat of white-hot cannonshot and the clamour of a mutinous crew, new Lieutenant Hornblower will need all of his seafaring cunning to overcome his first challenge in independent command on the high seas. And while blood and violence flow thick and fast aboard a beleaguered HMS Renown, the aftermath of war promises intrigue of an entirely different order: Maria, a young senorita, who might just soften the steely resolve of a young lieutenant. This is the second of eleven books chronicling the adventures of C. S. Forester's inimitable nautical hero, Horatio Hornblower.

  In the first film, mutiny seems the only option for Hornblower as the captain's behaviour becomes increasingly erratic. The story continues in the second film as Hornblower and his shipmates capture a fort from the Spaniards after a fierce battle atsea. Success quickly turns sour as Hornblower faces a possible court martial for mutiny - the sentence for which is death.
