The Brigadier's Outcast by Anthony Conway
Set in 1929 at a time when the RAF believes that airships will be the transport of the future, this novel finds Captain Caspasian of the Gurkhas on his way to South America to investigate the loss of a prototype. His plan is a perilous expedition into the South American jungle.
Rip-roaring adventure fiction featuring the Gurkha officer Captain John CaspasianThe year is 1929 and an experimental British airship has gone missing, believed destroyed. But reports reach London that the ship has been seen in British Guyana, so the Air Ministry despatches the intrepid Caspasian to investigate. Travelling across the Atlantic on another luxurious airship, he encounters his arch enemy Brigadier Percival, and. well, you get the picture. This is the fourth outing for the fictional hero Caspasian, but the author was himself a Gurkha officer and the authenticity of the military material is compelling. And the story rattles along at a cracking pace, reminiscent of the Indiana Jones movies. But the real appeal is nostalgic, brilliantly recreating the lost world of the British Empire.
Anthony Conway has been a Gurkha officer and has travelled extensively in the east. He has been a bestselling thriller writer under a pseudonym.
