The Moghul
Produced by Al Haines
"The Moghul" by Thomas Hoover is a historical novel written in the early 1980s. The narrative unfolds during a tumultuous period around the year 1620, focusing on the adventures of Brian Hawksworth, an English ship captain navigating the complex political and cultural landscape of Moghul India as he aims to establish trade routes and secure England’s interests against Portuguese dominance. The book promises a vivid portrayal of the clash between empires, blending action with themes of love and the allure of an exotic land. The opening of the novel introduces Brian Hawksworth as he commands his ship, the "Discovery", through a treacherous sea battle against Portuguese galleons near India. Following a hard-fought victory, Hawksworth arrives in India, where he is quickly captivated by the beauty and mystique of the Moghul Empire. As he ventures inland, he faces conflicts of loyalty, desires for power, and the idea of a forbidden love. With vivid descriptions of the era's intrigue—complete with battles, the courtiers, and the lavish lifestyle of Indian royalty—this initial chapter sets the stage for an epic tale that combines historical adventure with deeply personal stakes.
