Description
The Passage to India (Matthew Hervey 13) In 1831, tensions are running high across Europe and Asia. In England, protests against the Reform Bill are spreading, while in India, the presidency of Madras is locked in conflict with some of its neighbouring princely states. Lieutenant-Colonel Matthew Hervey's actions in Bristol have not gone unnoticed by the government, but his old friend Sir Eyre Somervile has offered him a chance to redeem himself. Somervile has secured approval from the Court of Directors of the East India Company for an increase in the Madras military establishment, and Hervey is sent to the princely state of Coorg with the 6th Light Dragoons. The Rajah is in revolt against the company's terms, and Hervey's regiment must put down the rebellion. But when an unexpected visitor from his past arrives, Hervey faces a new challenge that will test his skills and resolve. As the stakes rise, Hervey must navigate the complexities of war and politics to ensure the success of his mission. With its vivid historical setting and gripping storyline, The Passage to India is a compelling tale of duty, loyalty, and survival.
