About the Book

The Sea Hawk by Manohar Malgonkar is a gripping tale set in 17th-century India, where the Maratha Empire, under the leadership of Chhatrapati Shivaji, faces the looming European threat along the Konkan coast. To defend its dominion, the Maratha Empire calls upon the legendary Kanhoji Angrey, a master mariner, skilled swordsman, and brilliant strategist.

For decades, Kanhoji Angrey’s dominance over the seas remains unchallenged. No matter who rules the land or governs the trading settlements, Kanhoji’s iron grip over the waters of the Konkan coast ensures his legacy as the ‘Lord of the Konkan’.

This exciting historical fiction takes readers on an adventure alongside Kanhoji, where danger lurks at every turn and high-stakes naval campaigns push him to the edge. The Sea Hawk captures the daring exploits and strategic brilliance of this remarkable figure in Indian history, making it a thrilling read for history lovers and adventure enthusiasts alike.

Now available in a stunning new edition, this Indian classic, long out of print, continues to bring to life one of the most compelling figures in Indian maritime history.
