King of the Khyber Rifles
GREAT ADVENTURE OF INDIA!
Captain Alan King, freshly arrived from Sandhurst and more fluent in Pashtun than veteran officers, survives an attack on his escort to the Northwest Frontier garrison near the Khyber Pass because of Ahmed, an Afridi deserter from rebel Karram Khan's forces. Once his fellow officers discover his mother was a native Muslim—a fact that led both families to disown his parents—King encounters stubborn prejudice, with Lieutenant Geoffrey Heath even moving out of their shared quarters. Only half-Irish Lt. Ben Baird remains supportive.
