Oh Lud there is a story about St.John Rivers in Calcutta, and it's a cross-over with Sutcliff's Eagle of the Ninth.

Well-researched, at any rate, though people speak 'Hindu' and St.John is sympathetic towards Dalits (taking issue more with the term than with his sympathies), and everything about military ranks is 'wibbly-wobbly'.

Oh god he just put raita in mulagtani. Though the author's notes say not to, so there's that.

Anyway, stashing a link here, in case:

Esca seems to have been written out (I got as far as chapter 12 and bailed). That is neither Marcus Aquila nor St John Rivers. It may well be a decently researched historical novel along the lines of Sarah Walters about homosexual attraction under the East India Company.

I managed till about Chapter 3 and ditto. But I agree with you on the whole. The changes seem more obvious for Marcus to me, though maybe because unchanged Marcus would have fit the milieu so well.
