Kommandør Hornblower

Bind 1. Et linjeskib

Englænderne rykker frem i Spanien, og under franskmændenes forsøg på at standse dem blotter de deres ene flanke. Kommandør Hornblower får ordre om at gå til angreb med skibet ”Sutherland”, og han vinder snart flere sejre. Men til sidst bliver hans skib skudt sønder og sammen af fjenden. Han må bøje sig for overmagten og bliver taget til fange – sejrens sødme forvandles til nederlagets bitre kalk.
