David McK (3663 KP) rated Lord Hornblower (Hornblower #10) in Books
Feb 21, 2021
Yes, just one year before the end of the Napoleonic Wars and Napoleons final defeat at Waterloo in 1815.
This novel also takes place over that year, from his (successful) completion of that mission, to a landing in the port of Le Havre, to the conference of Vienna where the victors carve up Napoleon's empire, to Napoleon's return and to his final defeat - admittedly, the decidedly not perfect Hornblower may not be personally involved in all those latter events, but they do impact upon him as he is away visiting old friends (from a few novels back) in France when Napoleon returns.
And, I have to say, he has a very lucky escape indeed!
