Excerpt from On Secret Patrol in High Asia Captain Blacker himself early in the Great War saw much hard fighting in France, till shot down and disabled whilst in the Flying Corps. Sent back to the regimental depot to rest and recuperate, the spirit being more than willing he did so very shortly, and then with the true Guides spirit started on a series of hazardous services which were pro longed for three years, and during which he and his patrol covered very nearly miles on foot or on horseback. The little band who followed him were of Lumsden's own breed, hardy, brave, and loyal, and never to be the least upset by any sudden emergency. Some, as this tale unfolds, undoubtedly had a lurid past, but only with the same luridness as had the past lives of knights of old.

Under the banner of a Holy War, masterminded in Berlin and unleashed from Constantinople, the Germans and the Turks set out in 1914 to foment violent revolutionary uprisings against the British in India and the Russians in Central Asia. It was a new and more sinister version of the old Great Game, with world domination as its ultimate aim. Here, told in epic detail and for the first time, is the true story behind John Buchan's classic wartime thriller Greenmantle, recounted through the adventures and misadventures of the secret agents and others who took part in it. It is an ominously topical tale today in view of the continuing turmoil in this volatile region where the Great Game has never really ceased.
