Covers the final century of the East India Company's history, focusing on its steady drive east to India and China, driven by Britain's thirst for tea. Follows three generations of the Larkins family, beginning with William who started as a mate on a Company ship in 1746 and ending with a grandson who boosted his earnings by investing in smuggled opium after the Company ended trading in 1834.
