Description

The thrilling climax to the Ibis trilogy. In 1839, tensions between China and British India reach a boiling point as Beijing cracks down on opium smuggling. The colonial government declares war, and one of the vessels requisitioned for the attack sets sail from Bengal towards China. As the Hind travels eastwards, it brings together a diverse group of travellers with their own agendas. Among them is Kesri Singh, a sepoy in the East India Company, Zachary Reid, an impoverished young sailor searching for his lost love, and Shireen Modi, a determined widow on a mission to reclaim her opium-trader husband's wealth and reputation. Flood of Fire is a richly populated novel that unfolds against the backdrop of the First Opium War. With its wealth of historical detail and verve, this epic story culminates in a beautiful and compelling conclusion to an sweeping narrative.
