The Admiralty has ordered Captain Horatio Hornblower, now in command of the thirty-six-gun HMS \u003ci\u003eLydia\u003c\/i\u003e, to form an alliance against the Spanish colonial government with an insane Spanish landowner; to find a water route across the Central American isthmus; and \"to take, sink, burn or destroy\" the fifty-gun Spanish ship of the line \u003ci\u003eNatividad\u003c\/i\u003e or face court-martial. A daunting enough set of orders -- even if the happily married captain were not woefully distracted by the passenger he is obliged to take on in Panama: Lady Barbara Wellesley.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Back Bay Books","offers":[{"title":"Beat to Quarters | C S Forester | Paperback | 9780316289320 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks D 1783162","offer_id":67579615608984,"sku":"1783162","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91QUJvGTr8L.jpg?v=1790363596","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/beat-to-quarters","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
