Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- English-language readers interested in novels set against a Mughal background
- Readers who want to use public-domain eBooks for extensive English reading
- Readers who enjoy historical fiction and are willing to verify facts on their own
Not a good fit for
- Readers of historical research who need rigorous factual reference
- Readers who only read Chinese translations and are not used to English originals
- Readers who want a detailed plot summary before deciding whether to read
Reading tips
- Before reading, learn the broad outline of Mughal history to help enter the novel's setting.
- Use the book as extensive English reading material, reading one chapter at a fixed time each day to keep a steady pace.
- Mark historical terms as you go and look them up after finishing each chapter, so the reading flow is not interrupted.

About the author
Thomas Hoover (1941– ) is an American novelist born in Texas, with a doctorate in chemistry. He worked for many years as an executive at an engineering technology company in New York before turning to full-time writing. His fiction spans two main areas: historical novels such as The Moghul and Caribbee, which depict broad historical settings, and technological thrillers such as Project Cyclops and Project Daedalus, which are notable for their scientific detail and tension-filled plots. He has also written works on Zen Buddhism, including The Zen Experience and Zen Culture, reflecting a lasting interest in Eastern thought. Nine of his works are held in the collection. Public information about him is limited, and the available account centers on these works rather than on personal biography.
