King--Of the Khyber Rifles
by Mundy, Talbot
King of the Khyber Rifles is a novel by British writer Talbot Mundy. Captain Athelstan King is a secret agent for the British Raj at the beginning of the First World War. Heavily influenced both by Mundy's own unsuccessful career in India and by his interest in theosophy, it describes his adventures among the tribes of the north with the mystical woman adventurer Yasmini and the Turkish mullah Muhammed Anim. The Khyber Rifles was and is an actual regiment.
