In the mid-1700s the East India Company has power over commerce on the sub-continent, with the blessings of the British government. A clerk in the company, Robert Clive, is frustrated by his lack of advancement, and transfers to the military arm of the company, where he excels. Clives leadership and gift for manipulation strengthen Englands hold over India and lead to personal wealth, which is often threatened by the enemies he makes along the way.
