The Indian Ocean, 1809. At stake: Britain's commercial lifeline to India and naval supremacy. In one disastrous season, the natural order of maritime power since Trafalgar was shattered.
Storm and Conquest recounts the harrowing experiences of men, women, and children caught at sea in hurricanes, and those who survived to drive the French from the Eastern seas. All shared a desire to prove themselves - to build a career, secure a fortune, or find love - in places that could be both magnificent and terrifying.
