"The best adventure writer of the 20th century " -- SF Site
When Mundy published the short novel The Gray Mahatma (retitled
Caves of Terror in book form) in the Nov. 10, 1922 issue of
Adventure, it was the first time the supernatural and mystical
elements of Eastern religion and philosophy took the forefront in
his work. 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
