Роберт Форчун был шотландским садовником, ботаником, охотником за растениями и промышленным шпионом. В 1848 году Ост-Индская компания поручила ему совершить тайную поездку во внутренние районы Китая — территорию, запрещенную для иностранцев, — чтобы украсть тщательно охраняемые секреты чая • На протяжении веков Китай был единственным в мире производителем чая. Великобритания закупила этот товар для своей империи, продав опиум китайцам – ядовитые отношения, ради поддержания которых Британия вела две разрушительные войны.

Спасением, по его мнению, было создание собственных плантаций в Гималаях в Британской Индии • Было всего две проблемы: в Индии не было чайных растений, которые стоило бы выращивать, а если бы они были, компания бы не знала, что с ними делать

Here, tradition is not enough, and Mike Blackwood must find within himself qualities of leadership which will inspire those Royal Marines who are once again the first to land, and among the first to die
