About This Book

A young school captain embarks on a perilous search for his missing father and a huge, coveted ruby, tracing clues from home to Rangoon and upriver into dense jungle. Encounters with spies, kidnappers, and local brigands lead to ambushes, river combats, cave and tunnel fights, rescues, and inventive ruses to survive torture and entrapment. Companions display loyalty and resourcefulness as they face festivals, hidden strongholds, secret chambers, and a climactic series of confrontations that settle the mystery. The narrative concentrates on fast-moving adventure, daring improvisation, and the bonds that sustain the quest.
