Sinopse

Why would one family choose to fight for the enemy of the British Empire, while another defends it?

It’s 1915. The Great War has descended into horrific trench warfare with the great nations fighting over inches of European ground. In the Middle East, the war is between the British Empire and the Ottoman Empire, allied to Germany. Caught in the middle of this Middle East war are two families of spies—the Bankrofts, who support British operations in Mesopotamia, and the O’Connell family, on the side of the German and Ottoman operations. Both families trained in the mystic arts, mesmerism and intelligence tradecraft in British India, but one chose patriotism and the other, treason. The intelligence chess game between these two families places them at even greater risk as their tribal allies switch sides and fight for their own reasons.

Resumo da Crítica

Author JR Seeger brings “Steampunk in the Raj” to life as two young spies, Elizabeth Bankroft and Michael O’Connell, match wits, wizardry, and courage with murderers, mystics, colonialists—and each other—in pre-World War One India and the Ottoman Empire. It’s a thrilling and dangerous mix of Rudyard Kipling, H.G Wells, and T.E. Lawrence that awaits the reader as the two secret agents and their teams search for secrets and try to derail their enemy’s plans. It’s a magical ride, not to be missed.—James Stejskal, author of The Snake Eater Chronicles

J.R. Seeger transports the reader into the era of the Raj with a rollicking tale that reeks of authenticity, drawn from a fizzing imagination that springs from both scholarship and real-world experience. No stranger to the modern-day battlefields of Afghanistan that remain unchanged in many respects from days of yore, he conjures up the sounds and smells of the Near East as he expertly crafts a plot that twists through the shadow and shade cast by the British Crown.—Toby Harnden, war correspondent and author of Dead Men Risen
