The Peshawar Lancers

Set against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic 21st century, this story explores a world where civilization has regressed following a catastrophic comet strike in the 1870s, yet traditional technology like steam-powered ships and telegraphs remain in use. The British Empire, now based in Delhi, and the Czar of Russia are rising global powers, amid mounting tensions and inevitable conflict. Central to this unfolding drama is Captain Athelstane King, a reluctant spy and hero whose role becomes unexpectedly pivotal.
