  Tome 1:A Dusky Messenger

  What if Uto the 'Mbuto'ngai's vision of a red comet announced the end of the old world in the Fiji islands? What if that red comet was but a sign for the future arrival of gun fire and redheads, such as the troubled teenager Peter Dillon, struggling with his identity in an unpoverished Ireland?

   In 1799's India,  George Wilson is shot at the battle of Seringapatam, opposing the British Empire to the kingdom of Mysore. It will trigger a series of events that will change the lives of many people, amongst whom a Scottish soldier, Anthony Burnside, and along, Ganesh, a small Indian boy who is forced on a journey across the ocean aboard the Earl Abergavenny, a ship of the British East India Company bound for Canton on her way back to England.

   In China, they will start their trading adventure and meet unusual people, such as Kalle Svensson, a bored Swedish carpenter, Sek Seoifaa, a brave Cantonese fisherwoman, or Luis Santos, a caring Philippine merchant with many connections, from the Mandarins settled in Canton to Armenian opium traders, and last but not least, the American schooner Argo, getting ready to sail southwards back to the young penal colony in New Holland (actual Australia).
