Another great novel of India from John Masters. This covers the intrigue before the Sepoy Mutiny, the massacre at its beginning and the rivers of bloodletting during it.

The hero is Captain Savage, son of the man who destroyed the Thuggee menace, who now faces the horror of his own delight in killing.

John Masters' novels of India are masterful, but pale in comparison to his own memoirs of his life in the Indian Army before and during World War II: Bugles and a Tiger, and The Road Past Mandelay.
