Talbot Mundy Books Overview

The Nine Unknown

The Nine Unknown presents another of Mundy’s classic adventures.

Jimgrim

An adventure that stretches from Cairo to Lake Tahoe, with plenty of chicanery, skulduggery, and televangelism decades before television was even thought of!

Jimgrim and Allah’s Peace

El Kudz, as Arabs call Jerusalem, is, from a certain distance, as they also call it, shellabi kabir. Extremely beautiful. Beautiful upon a mountain. El Kudz means The City, and in a certain sense it is that, to unnumbered millions of people. Ludicrous, uproarious, dignified, pious, sinful, na vely confidential, secretive, altruistic, realistic. Ho*ary ancient and ultra modern. Very, very proud of its name Jerusalem, which means City of Peace. Full to the brim with the malice of certainly fifty religions, fifty races, and five hundred thousand curious political chicaneries disguised as plans to save our souls from hell and fill some fellow’s purse. The jails are full. ‘Look for a man named Grim,’ said my employer. ‘James Schuyler Grim, American, aged thirty four or so. I’ve heard he knows the ropes.’ The ropes, when I was in Jerusalem before the war, were principally used for hanging people at the Jaffa Gate…

Tros of Samothrace

Complete in one volume, Talbot Mundy’s legendary account of the Druid Warrior Tros and his unwilling service to the Roman Empire. First serialized in Adventure, the book chronicles Tros’ attempts to keep Julius Caesar from conquering the Britons, and of the young man’s efforts to free his father. Stunning for its time, this work of action that shatters anything R.E. Howard could dream up also makes the case that Celtic peoples were far more sophisticated than the wicker burning freaks they’d been painted as, and goes deeply into the mind of Caesar, depicting the supposed Worthy as a protofascist and demon fully capable of massacring comparatively defenseless barbarians on a whim. No mere hack and slash work, Mundy’s Tros grows as the narrative presses along, and survives, ironically, in the service of Rome. This book is the author’s finest work, though one that, sadly, ended his relationship with a publisher who’d been expecting something shorter, and about Cleopatra.

Queen Cleopatra

Queen Cleopatra and Julius Caesar as theirs was one of the great love affairs of all time, one that changed the entire course of history! Cleopatra had audacity, enchanting beauty and the fierce courage to keep Egypt free at any cost even if it meant challenging the most powerful ruler the world had ever known. Julius Caesar had absolute authority, fame as a great lover, and the unrelent ing determination to keep Rome the mightiest city of the age until his infatuation and desire for Cleopatra threatened his otherwise invincible strength. The clash of these two vibrant, full blooded personalities engaged in this his toric Battle of the Sexes is the heart of the drama and the excitement of Queen Cleopatra

The Purple Pirate

Tros of Samothrace is The Purple Pirate

The epic saga of the ancient world Tros of Samothrace draws to a conclusion in this sixth and final volume. Julius Caesar has been assassinated and Queen Cleopatra of Egypt finds herself in a perilous position and desperate for allies to secure her power. Mark Antony comes into her life and once again the plotting begins and once again Tros is drawn into danger. Great perils will have to be overcome before Tros can safely feel the deck of his purple sailed, serpent prowed ship beneath his feet and a fair wind at his back. This is another satisfying helping from Talbot Mundy one of the finest writers of this genre and much admired by some of it’s most famous exponents including Robert E Howard of Conan fame. All six Tros adventures are now available from Leonaur in complementing covers in hard and soft cover.

Hookum Hai

Maybe it’s true,’ he muttered, ‘and maybe it’s all lies; there’s no knowing. Maybe India’s going to run blood, as these fakirs seem to think, and maybe it isn’t. There’ll be more blood shed than mine in that case! Hookum Hai‘ It is orders,’ heh ? Well there’s more than one sort of Hookum Hai!’ I’ve got my orders too!

Machassan Ah

It was not until they had debouched as Crothers termed it to their half right front and had taken to a narrow one man track that ran below the wall that any over attention was paid them. Suddenly a hook nosed Asiatic gentleman emerged through the once was gateway a picture of a Bible shepherd but for the long barreled gun he carried instead of crook a brown shadow against brown masonry.

But beware of the man who has no axe to grind. -Eastern Proverb. CHAPTER III IT was a musty smelling entrance, so dark that to see was scarcely possible after the hot glare outside. Dimly King made out Rewa Gunga mounting stairs to the left and followed him. The stairs wound backward and forward on themselves four times, growing scarcely any lighter as they ascended, until, when he guessed himself two stories at least above road level, there was a sudden blaze of reflected light and he blinked at more mirrors than he could count. They had been swung on hinges suddenly to throw the light full in his face. There were curtains reflected in each mirror, and little glowing lamps, so cunningly arranged that it was not possible to guess which were real and which were not. Rewa Gunga offered no explanation, but stood watching with quiet amuseme*nt. He seemed to expect King to take a cWnce and go forward, but if he did he reckoned without his guest. King stood still. Then suddenly, as if she had done it a thousand times before and surprised a thousand people, a little nut-brown maid parted the middle pair of curtains andsaid ‘Salaam !’ smiling with teeth that Were as white as porcelain. All the other curtains parted too, so that the whereabouts of the door might still have been in doubt had she not spoken and so distinguished herself from her reflections. King looked scarcely interested and not at all disturbed. Balked of his amuseme*nt, Rewa Gunga hurried past him, thrusting the little maid aside, and led the way. King followed him into a long room, whose walls were hung with richer silks than any he remembered to have seen…

Excerpt from book: about in his chair and for the first time looked the third member of the party in the face. ‘Hoity toity! Well, I’m jiggered! Dash my drink and dinner, it’s the princess!’ He rose and saluted cavalierly, jocularly, yet with a deference one could not doubt, showing tobacco darkened teeth in a smile of almost paternal indulgence. ‘So the Princess Yasmini is Gunga Singh this morning, eh? And here’s Tom Tripe riding up hill and down dale, laming his horse and sweating through a clean tunic with a threat in his ear and a reward promised that he’ll never see a smell of while the princess is smoking cigarettes ‘ ‘In very good company!’ ‘In good company, aye; but not out of mischief, I’ll be bound! Naughty, naughty!’ he said, wagging a finger at her. ‘Your ladyship’ll get caught one of these days, and where will Tom Tripe be then? I’ve got my job to keep, you know. Friendship’s friendship and respect’s respect, but duty’s what I’m paid to do. Here’s me, drill master of the maharajah’s troops and a pension coming to me consequent on good behavior, with orders to set a guard over you, miss, and prevent your going and coming without his highness’ leave. And here’s you giving the guard the slip! Somebody tipped his highness off, and I wish you’d heard what’s going to happen to me unless I find you!’ ‘You can’t find me, Tom Tripe! I’m not Yasmini to day; I’m Gunga Singh!’ ‘Tut tut, Your Ladyship; that won’t do! I swore on my Bible oath to the maharajah that I left you daybefore yesterday closely guarded in the palace across the river. He felt easy for the first time for a week.

The Bubble Reputation / Her Reputation

Caves of Terror / The Gray Mahatma

‘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

Om

The author’s outstanding literary achievement long in demand is an occult story of mystery and adventure, romance, and startling psychological surprises. It is set in that secret, sacred part of the Himalayas into which few have entered. The central figure is a Lama, wise, winning, compassionate, whose story told in his own words on a crag by the roaring Brahmaputra will capture the imagination and reveal for some readers occult truths.

Black Light

A wonderful adventure novel from the pen of Talbot Mundy. Joe Beddington is heir to an enormous fortune, but must kowtow to his domineering mother. They are in India searching for the lost daughter of a friend. Joe falls in love with Rita, a girl who is a devotee in a secret Hindu temple. His mother spins an elaborate web to frustrate Joe’s intentions but finds she has fallen instead into the web of her own karma.

Affair in Araby / The King in Check

Tailbot Mundy gives the reader an action packed adventure full of intrigue. Mundy was an early 20th century English writer who often wrote under the pseudonym Walter Galt. At age 19 he left London to travel to India and parts of the Near and Far East. Most of Mundy’s novels are set in India under British Occupation in which the loyal British officers encounter ancient Indian mysticism. In the 1920 s Mundy wrote stories about Tros of fSamothrace, a Greek freedom fighter who aided Britons and Druids in their fight against Julius Caesar. Affair in Araby was also published under the title King of Check. Mundy tells an adventure tale with a hero from previous novels, James Schuyler Grim. The British in Jerusalem have employed Grim a secret service agent form America. The French in Syria anger King Festal of the Arabs. Allies had promised Festal the kingship of Syria, Palestine and Trans Jordanian, because of his aid in W W 1. They did not keep their promise and the French are out to discredit or kill the Arab chieftain.

Caesar Dies

Sorbanus brought the skewbald stallion. Not far away a group of women danced around a dozen drunken men, who sang uproariously. Seen against the background of purple and dark green gloom, with crimson torchlight flaring on the quiet water and the moon descending behind trees beyond them, they were mystically beautiful seemed not to belong to earth, anymore than the pan pipe music did. ‘Ride into their midst!’ Norbanus urged, pointing. ‘Tickle the stallion thus.’ The Cappadocian lashed out savagely. ‘Here is a bottle of goat’s blood. I will bring weapons, and I will join you as soon as possible after I have made sure that the temple priests, and all Daphne, are positive about your death. Now mount and ride!’

The Thunder Dragon Gate

The Thunder Dragon Gate is the name of a monastery in Tibet, thought to be the portal to Shambala, and therefore revered as a symbol for the threshold to higher levels of spiritual consciousness. American secret agent Tom Grayne and his wife Elsa are trying to smuggle the keeper of the gate, Th pa ga, back into Tibet to resume his ordained duty and to learn what they can about the path to Shambala. Only a few things stand in their way a power mad rajah named Dowlah, an array of Chinese and Japanese agents, the Tibetan government, the Indian government, and a huge man eating spider called a shang shang. This ferocious spider the female eats its mate after copulating is the source of many common Tibetan superstitions which are most effective in keeping the ignorant and the fanatical away from The Thunder Dragon Gate. It is said that the gate itself is guarded by a shang shang! This fast paced adventure novel by Talbot Mundy illuminates the power of the mind to defeat superstitions and the need to do so before one can tread the path to enlightenment.

Old Ugly Face

Old Ugly Face is the nickname of a Tibetan lama, the Ringding Gelong Lama Lopsang Pun, an ascetic with an infectious laugh, a penchant for flogging sin out of wayward monks, and the power to overcome all obstacles in his way. This is the second novel dealing with Old Ugly Face‘s effort to protect Tibetan religious traditions from Russian, Japanese, and Chinese intrigue just prior to World War II, a sequel to the novel The Thunder Dragon Gate.

It also continues the story of Elsa Burbage and her husband Tom Grayne, whom she left behind in a Tibe tan cave to return to Darjeeling to have their child. The child was born, however, at 17,000 feet in the Himalayas during a blizzard, yet made it through that ordeal only to die after arriving safely in India. Elsa wishes to return to Tom, and persuades the American adventurer Andrew Gunning the man who brought her out of Tibet to let her join him in his clandestine journey back to Tom.

This fast paced adventure novel by Talbot Mundy is one of the greatest novels ever written of the rigors and tests of the spiritual path. It is Mundy at his best.

Her orders were either to wait until she knew by questioning that the section would not return or else, when it had returned, to wait until the memsahib and Bellairs sahib slept, and then to make a sign.
