North West India, July 1897. Simon and Alice Fonthill are
travelling with their old friend Jenkins to Marden, India for an
anniversary party with the Guides Corps. But when they are ambushed
on their journey, they realize that the land may not be as peaceful
as they first believed.On arrival at Marden their suspicions are
confirmed when they are told of fresh trouble from the Pathans,
leading Simon and Jenkins join the charge to protect a nearby Fort.
Their respite is short-lived when Simon is tasked by Viceroy Elgin
to deliver a very important letter to the Amir in Kabul; it is
agreed that Alice will accompany them as far as fort Landi Kotal in
the Khyber Pass. With Simon in Kabul, the Pathans attack the Pass
and Alice is kidnapped by the Mullah leading the revolt, so Simon
must battle against time and incredible odds to rescue his wife.
