Beschreibung

The Lotus and the Wind opens in 1879, when Lieutenant Robin Savage is serving in the second Anglo-Afghan war as Britain and the Russian Empire engage in the Great Game to decide Afghanistan's future. Unjustly accused of cowardice, Lieutenant Savage joins the Secret Service and must unravel the mystery of "Atlar", the word written by an Afghan stranger in his own blood to thwart the ambitions of Tsarist Russia. He sets out with a faithful Gurkha orderly to the furthest frontier of the British Empire.

Rezensionen


Not many novels so good as this are being written today.
s descriptions of the Indian scene are as highly coloured as ever and his narrative as exciting and dashing.
Mr Masters'

To describe a book so nerve-thrilling, so packed with action and incident, so taut with feeling is difficult.
