1. Hornblower Auf Der' Hotspur'.
A young Royal Navy officer during the Napoleonic Wars is given command of a small warship and must confront the harsh realities of command—unforgiving weather, a limited crew and the constant threat of superior enemy forces. Faced with difficult tactical choices and his own self-doubt, he relies on seamanship, courage and quick thinking to protect his ship and men, and in doing so learns hard lessons about leadership, responsibility and the personal cost of naval service.
