Fortune's Soldier A new empire is rising- Alex Rutherford
It is 1744. Young Scotson Nicholas Ballantyne finds him-slef unexpectedly on the Winchester bound for Hindustan and a new life in the British East India Company , Abroad he meets the spirited, mercurial and complex Robert Clive, determined - at whatever cost- to make a fortune in a land of opportunity.
Their relationship survives many twists and turns as Clive’s restless hunger for wealth and power sees him rise to become a commander in the Company forces, extinguishing rival French interests and eventually leading his men to a great victory at Plassey - the prelude to nearly two centuries of foreign rule in Hindustan.
An epic tale perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell.
