Produktbeschreibung

A possession must be held: the struggle for Penang.' A paradise on earth. Penang - the Pearl of the Orient - has fulfilled its promise, becoming the most vibrant port in the Indies in a few short years. But paradise comes at a price for Francis Light and his family. Penang's meteoric rise from deserted island to thriving port attracts unwanted attention from both the Dutch and the French, while the Sultan of Kedah rages at the treachery of the British. As the 18th century draws to a close, Penang must fortify and prepare for war, and Light's partner, Martinha Rozells, learns to negotiate the murky waters of colonial prejudice for the sake of her family.
