书籍简介
The thrilling climax to the Ibis trilogy that began with the phenomenal Booker-shortlisted Sea of Poppies.
It is 1839 and tension has been rapidly mounting between China and British India following the crackdown on opium smuggling by Beijing. With no resolution in sight, the colonial government declares war.
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.
Among them is Kesri Singh, a sepoy in the East India Company who leads a company of Indian sepoys; Zachary Reid, an impoverished young sailor searching for his lost love, and Shireen Modi, a determined widow en route to China to reclaim her opium-trader husband"s wealth and reputation.
Flood of Fire follows a varied cast of characters from India to China, through the outbreak of the First Opium War and China"s devastating defeat, to Britain"s seizure of Hong Kong.
Flood of Fire is a thrillingly realised and richly populated novel, imbued with a wealth of historical detail, suffused with the magic of place and plotted with verve. It is a beautiful novel in its own right, and a compelling conclusion to an epic and sweeping story - it is nothing short of a masterpiece.
1839年，在北京打击鸦片走私之后，中国和英属印度之间的紧张局势迅速升级。没有解决的希望，殖民地政府宣战了。
其中一艘被征用的战船雌鹿号从孟加拉向东驶往中国，途中遭遇了第一次鸦片战争。动荡的旅程汇集了形形色色的旅行者，每个人都有自己的追求目标。
其中包括东印度公司的印度兵Kesri Singh，他领导着一家印度兵公司;贫穷的年轻水手扎卡里•里德(Zachary Reid)在寻找他失去的爱人，坚定的寡妇希琳•莫迪(Shireen Modi)在前往中国的途中，要夺回她从事鸦片贸易的丈夫的财富和声誉。
从印度到中国，从第一次鸦片战争的爆发，到中国的惨败，再到英国占领香港，《烈火洪流》讲述了一群形形色色的人物。
《烈火洪流》是一部令人激动的现实主义小说，内容丰富，充满了丰富的历史细节，充满了地方的魔力，情节充满了神韵。它本身就是一部美丽的小说，是一个史诗般宏大的故事的一个令人信服的结论——它简直就是一部杰作。
