About this audiobook
Lewis Haystoun is a man gifted with brilliance but paralyzed by a profound lack of resolve at critical moments. When a geopolitical threat emerges on the Indian frontier, he is forced to trade his comfortable life for the dangers of international espionage. This psychological thriller moves from the elite salons of London to the treacherous mountain passes of the East. As war looms, Lewis must finally overcome his internal hesitation to save his country from disaster. It is a gripping study of character growth hidden within a high-stakes military adventure.
