Description

From the jacket: Coromandel! By John Experts. Its hero, Jason Savage, was a child in Wiltshire when he first noticed that title on the map of Asia he purchased from Previous Voy, the poacher, in 1627. The chart and the painful thoughts it triggered went Jason from his dad's plantation for the roistering roads of London, by dispatch to Asia and Coromandel, through the woodlands and over the scalding wastelands, to the frozen heights of the hill he wished was Meru.
