Publication: Alfred A Knopf, 1991, New York, 1990
First U.S. edition. Fine in dust jacket. The year is 1845 and the mighty Sikh Khalsa, the finest army ever seen in Asia, is poised to invade India and sweep Britannia's ill-guarded empire into the sea. Every able-bodied man was needed to defend the frontier. Alas, though, for poor Flashy, there was no avoiding the terrors of the secret service in the corrupt and intriguing Court of the Punjab, the attentions of its beautiful nymphomaniac Maharani (not that he minded that, really), the horrors of its torture chambers or the baleful influence of the Mountain of Light.
