Reviews

‘A wonderfully compelling story, immediate and engrossing.’ Sunday Telegraph ‘A riveting and valuable contribution to Great Game literature.’ Spectator ‘If you like 19th-century derring-do, wild men in wild places, dancing girls, murderous plots, people who smoke dried dung, camels, wine laced with pearls and opium, towering eccentrics and true but almost unbelievable adventures – if you like all that kind of thing, this is the book for you.’ Jan Morris
