Ibis trilogy. 3, Flood of fire
One of the vessels requisitioned for the attack, the Hind, travels eastwards from Bengal to China, sailing into the midst of the First Opium War. The turbulent voyage brings together a diverse group of travellers, each with their own agenda to pursue. A thrillingly realized and richly populated novel, imbued with a wealth of historical detail, suffused with the magic of place and plotted with verve. A beautiful novel in its own right, and a compelling conclusion to an epic and sweeping story - it is nothing short of a masterpiece
