Summary "The War Tiger" by William Dalton is a historical fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a young sea chief, Nicholas Chin-Chi-Loong, and his companion Chow as they navigate the turbulent times of the conquest of China by the Tartars, focusing on themes of bravery, treachery, and resilience against powerful foes. Their adventures intertwine personal ambition and the larger conflicts arising from political instability in the empire. The opening of the narrative introduces readers to the socio-political landscape of China, where multiple factions vie for power amidst the crumbling Ming dynasty. Nicholas is depicted as a strong and intelligent character, poised to prove his mettle as he embarks on a mission to deliver a critical letter to the Emperor. We also meet Chow, a boy from a noble family who becomes Nicholas's loyal companion after a dramatic rescue at sea. The early chapters set the stage for their forthcoming trials, including encounters with corrupt officials, rogue factions, and the bond that forms between them as they face adversities, laying groundwork for both action and character development as they aim to thwart treachery and protect their homeland.
