"I loved this exciting global spy thriller set in 2017-18. The plot is brilliant and cleverly interwoven into real events, yet at the same time fast-moving, twisting and unexpected, with some great scenes. It’s a story that accelerates. The characters"

of
The Anarchy: The East India Company, Corporate Violence, and the Pillage of an Empire:
