About River of Smoke
The second Ibis Trilogy novel follows the aftermath of a deadly cyclone in the Bay of Bengal, where the former slave ship Ibis, the opium-laden Anahita and the plant-hunting Redruth are all drawn toward Canton’s foreign enclave. As traders, fugitives and adventurers collide, the city becomes a powder keg on the edge of the Opium Wars.
