AudibleThe sixth instalment in the eleven-part
Horatio Hornblower series, A Ship of the Line
sees the return of 39-year-old Captain Hornblower
as he embarks upon a new adventure on the
Catalonian coast. Having successfully defeated
the Natividad Ship in battle, Horatio is awarded
command of HMS Sutherland. Estimated to be the
'the ugliest and least desirable two-decker in
the Navy List,' Hornblower's first ship of the
line is far from becoming the vessel of his
dreams, and being 250 men short of a full crew,
the captain is forced to enlist and train a
rabble of 'poachers, bigamists and sheep
stealers.' Seventeen years into the Napoleonic
wars, Hornblower cannot afford to pause or make
mistakes and the pressure soon mounts as the
French approach the Catalonian shores. Winner of
the 1938 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for
Fiction, A Ship of the Line delivers an
action-packed seafaring adventure as one of the
nation's favourite captains takes the lead once
again. Hugely celebrated for his Napoleonic naval
warfare series, and later for the publication of
The African Queen, C. S. Forester came to writing
much later than expected. Having originally
studied medicine at Guy's Hospital, Forester
first developed a love of story-telling after
being inspired by his travels with the Royal
Navy. Sadly stricken with arteriosclerosis whilst
voyaging to the Bering Sea, C.S. Forester was
crippled in his later life, but his imagination
and his skill with a pen survived for years to
come. Narrator BiographyChristian Rodska is an
