"King--of the Khyber Rifles: A Romance of Adventure" by Talbot Mundy is a novel first published in 1916. British secret agent Captain Athelstan King navigates dangerous tribal territories on India's northwest frontier at the outbreak of World War I. Accompanied by the enigmatic Princess Yasmini and facing the Turkish mullah Muhammed Anim, King must confront a brewing conspiracy to incite jihad against the British Empire. Influenced by Mundy's own experiences in India and his theosophical interests, this adventure tale explores loyalty, mysticism, and intrigue along the Khyber Pass.
