The Time of CliveA Historical Adventure That Changed the World
"He went to India a broken man. He returned as the Empire's sword."
In the mid-18th century, a former suicidal clerk named Robert Clive stepped into the chaos of colonial India-and rewrote the rules of power, politics, and empire. The Time of Clive is a sweeping, fast-paced historical novel that tells the true story of how one man's ambition, cunning, and battlefield brilliance set in motion two hundred years of British rule over the Indian subcontinent.
From the shadowy streets of Shropshire to the lavish courts of Bengal, from the siege of Calcutta to the infamous betrayal at Plassey, Clive's rise is marked by blood, silver, and shifting alliances. Backed by the British East India Company-but rarely controlled by it-Clive faces palace intrigue, native resistance, and the moral cost of conquest.
But empire is never earned without consequence.
Told in the cinematic style of The Nile Quest, Fall of the West, and Operation Middle Earth, this gripping historical adventure plunges readers into a world where corporations wage wars, kings are sold for coin, and destiny is forged in musket smoke and mango groves.

Epic stories of colonialism, betrayal, and revolution
