Book Description
Spring 1803 finds Captain Alexander Clay and his crew dispersed and struggling to adjust to a life of peace at home. Meanwhile, in the wider world, Europe is sliding back towards war. When news arrives that a powerful squadron has left Brest on a secret mission to the east commanded by the crack French Admiral Linois, Clay is given his old command back and is sent in pursuit. The Griffin arrives in Regency India, where treasure fleets worth millions ply the seas and France and Britain fight for influence among powerful local rulers. Soon Clay and his crew find themselves chasing shadows on the Malabar Coast, whose palm-fringed shore conceals many hidden dangers. In Linois, they are pitted against a cunning and allusive opponent. Will they be able to foil the French plans, before it is too late?

Letters from Malabar
Author: Henry Bruce
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780359738335
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Traveler and writer Henry Bruce details the culture and qualities of the Malabar coast of India, as it was during the rule of the British Raj. Bruce begins by reflecting upon the beauty of Malabar's land, the serenity and unspoiled nature of the countryside, which is scarcely mentioned in the travel guidebooks of his era. Having spent a time touring and appreciating the region, he expresses his wish to bring its charms to a greater audience. Throughout the text, the author praises the hospitality rendered him: though old-fashioned, he finds the manner and customs of the locals charming. Describing the various locales, the reader discovers how Thrissur (rendered by Bruce in its Anglicized form as 'Trichur') appeared at the start of the 20th century. Though prosperous, the region was not ostentatious, with Bruce reporting a conviviality between the classes. The efficiency of the local administration, and the beauty of its temples and architecture, are amply noted.
