Description - The Spoils of Conquest by Seth Hunter

The mouth of the Nile River, 9th August, 1798: Admiral Nelson has sent Captain Nathan Peake on a desperate journey across the Middle East to convey a grim warning to British India. Bonaparte is poised to deliver a fatal blow to the source of Britain's wealth and power by marching his army overland to India.

Arriving in Bombay, Nathan takes command of the East India Company's naval wing - the Bombay Marine - an under-armed and poorly crewed flotilla of sloops and gunboats.

With these meagre resources he must stop the flow of French supplies to their Indian ally and protect the Company's trade from the pirates and privateers swarming in the Bay of Bengal.

But when Nathan discovers the truth behind the East India Company's honourable facade, he confronts some tough personal choices - and a crisis of conscience even more threatening than the enemy...
