Sommario/riassunto |
|
"The Nile Delta, 1798 -- Admiral Nelson has sent Captain Nathan Peake across the Middle East to convey grim news. Napoleon Bonaparte's army is poised to march to India and deliver a fatal blow to Britain's wealth and power. ARriving in Bombay, Nathan takes command of the East India Company's poorly crewed naval wing. With only meager resources he must stop the flow of French supplies to their Indian ally and protect the company's trade from enemy ships. When Nathan dicvoers the truth behind the East India Company's honourable facade he must confront tough personal decisions--and a crisis of conscience even more threatening than the enemy"--Pager [4] of cover. |
