Hornblower: The Frogs and the Lobsters
The Hornblower series draws inspiration from C.S. Forester’s timeless seafaring tales, chronicling the journey of a young man striving to emerge as a leader. The narrative unfolds during the tumultuous 18th-century Anglo-French conflicts, a particularly brutal era in the history of the British navy. Lieutenant Hornblower and his comrades are tasked with supporting a royalist incursion into revolutionary France, a mission fraught with peril.
