Hornblower and The Island

Even as a prisoner on the remote island of St. Helena Napoleon Bonaparte is embarrassing the British and England is now the laughing stock of Europe. The answer is a new Governor: Lord Horatio Hornblower. The British government is betting that Hornblowers background being so similar to Bonapartes will earn the Corsicans respect. Both men rose from humble beginnings to nobility by his achievements alone. Both have commanded men and lead them to victories. Hornblowers mission is simple: deal with the greatest military genius of the modern era and make him behave. Hornblower discovers a Bonaparte that history never knew and learns the truth about the man who would be Emperor of the world.
