Mundy would return to the white man's quest for esoteric knowledge in many of his later classics such as Om -- The Secret of Abhor Valley and The Nine Unknown. In Caves of Terror, the gray mahatma, a high-level Indian mystic wishing to draw Athelstan King [hero of Mundy's early classic King -- of the Khyber Rifles] into an allegiance to use Indian mystic \"super-science\" to bring India from under the yoke of British colonialism, has been doomed to death for leaking secrets to the dangerous and cunning, but ever so seductive Yasmini, who wishes to use these same powers to dominate the World. . . .While the breathtaking pace of the story tends to marginalize Mundy's underlying message of Eastern wisdom's insights into many things unexplained by Western science, it is this same pace which likely earned it its \"best novel of the year\" accolade from the readers of Adventure.\" -- George Dobbs, SF Site\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Talbot Mundy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1557429685\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781557429681\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wildside Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Talbot Mundy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48485617697023,"sku":"9781557429681","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_98627563-f450-4a02-8208-b9142a072fcf.jpg?v=1778050414","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gray-mahatma-talbot-mundy-9781557429681","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
