In 'Hornblower in the West Indies', Hornblower is in the final stretch of his career, stationed in the Caribbean as governor of Jamaica. There, he must confront piracy and the illegal slave trade. His experience in the Napoleonic Wars allows him to control the situation, but personal problems with his wife further complicate his work. This novel closes one of the most celebrated cycles in naval literature, which has inspired the film 'Master and Commander' and an Emmy-winning television series.
Cecil Louis Troughton Smith, best known by his pen name C.S. Forester, was an English novelist known for writing tales of naval warfare, such as the 12-book Horatio Hornblower series depicting a Royal Navy officer during the Napoleonic Wars.
