Pondicherry

Pondicherry is a short story to introduce a significant setting in the novel, The Star of India, which is available online today. The novel is written in three parts. Part I introduces the reader to a young French aristocrat who was groomed to become a world-shaper when he joined the French East India Company. Part II develops him further, and shapes him to become an enabler in the drama. The 1740-1762 story of The Star of India is set in French India (the location of the bayside city of Pondicherry), the Indian Ocean island of Ille de France, the African island of Madagascar, the African port of Ouidah, and on or near various islands of the Caribbean Sea. Part III is a bonus book that continues the saga of the Methodists from New Mill Creek, who were introduced in the first novel of the series, titled, A Voice from New Mill Creek: The Methodists.
