Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Imperial Conspiracy
As I said to my young brother at the time, there is a good deal in the old writing, and so in fact there was, a good deal more than we guessed. It was all owing to the roaming Spirit which has affected my family from olden times and which caused my ancestor Roger to sail for East Indian Seas in the middle of the seventeenth century. The same fate which took him to Pegu in 1645 ordained that my brother and I should go to the Far East in 1904 and the wonderful consequences that followed. But if you are to understand my story you must cast your mind back and remember the things which were happening in Cathay at that time.
