Across the Himalayan frontier, political power and spiritual authority are locked in a struggle over Tibet and its young Dalai Lama. Andrew Gunning, an American operative and adventurer, enters a world where foreign interference, secret agents and religious influence converge, and where the contest cannot be understood through politics alone. The journey begins in Darjeeling before pressing into mountain country where dangerous terrain is only one part of the threat. Beside Gunning is Elsa Burbage, a Tibetan translator whose clairvoyant abilities challenge ordinary ideas of knowledge and perception. Their connection brings love and duty into the wider conflict, while hypnosis and psychic practices become entangled with espionage rather than serving as mere curiosities. As rival forces seek control through fear, manipulation and belief, the novel asks how much responsibility belongs to those who act, obey or allow themselves to be used. Adventure fiction and international intrigue meet in a story shaped by Himalayan passes, contested loyalties and the tension between rational explanation and unexplained consciousness. The political struggle gains another dimension through Old Ugly-Face, a Tibetan prelate whose position links the fate of individuals to questions of spiritual freedom and exploitation. Romance, danger and mysticism remain inseparable from the choices demanded by a frontier where influence may be exercised through both covert strategy and the mind itself. This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations.
