In Kenneth Mackay's 1895 admonitory tale, Britain's attention and
military forces are diverted by a Russian attack on India, and
Australia is left defenseless. The Russians lead the invasion
force, but for readers of the Victorian Age, the real horror is the
use of Chinese troops. This sweeping speculative story foreshadows
the rapid growth of nationalism in the 20th Century. It also takes
remarkable risks with its subject matter and its audience,
challenging both literary and moral conventions. The Wesleyan
edition--the first version of the book published in over a hundred
years--includes facsimile illustrations from the original text, a
new introduction and thorough notations. Peopled with extraordinary
characters, swiftly plotted, and thrillingly romantic, this
influential classic fantasy is as fascinating today as it was more
than a century ago.
