Horatio Hornblower
The French Are Stopped
by
Horatio Hornblower brings C. S. Forester’s naval hero to radio in stories of duty, command, and life at sea during the Napoleonic Wars. Hornblower is a capable but introspective officer whose decisions carry consequences for the men under his command as well as for the course of a mission.
The program presents maritime adventure through dramatic scenes of naval service, with the action shaped by orders, strategy, and the hazards of sailing and combat. Its world is one of ships, crews, and tense encounters at sea, where leadership and judgment matter as much as courage.
The series combines the scale of historical adventure with attention to Hornblower’s private doubts and responsibilities. Listeners can expect a serious, atmospheric portrayal of naval life, balancing action with the pressures of command.
