Reviews
On Aug 25 2014, a reader said:
A wonderful adventure continuing the fortunes of the Savage family that Masters features in his fictional historic novels set in and around British India. Masters, who lived in India and served in the British army, has a wonderful appreciation of Indian culture in its many facets. His novels are well based historically and live with full characters and high adventure. Coromandel is an excellent example of Masters' great story telling.
