Overview: Talbot Mundy (born William Lancaster Gribbon) (23 April 1879 – 5 August 1940) was an English writer. He also wrote under the pseudonym Walter Galt. Many of his novels, including his first novel Rung Ho!, and his most famous work King of the Khyber Rifles, are set in India during the British Raj in which the loyal British officers encounter ancient Indian mysticism. The novels portray the citizens of Imperial India as enigmatic, romantic and powerful. His British characters have many encounters with the mysterious Thugee Cults.
His related Jimgrim series, which has mystical overtones and part of which is available over the web from theosophical sites, ran in Adventure magazine before book publication. Mundy was associated with Theosophy’s movement, a friend of Katherine Tingley. Discussing the Jimgrim books, fantasy and mystery bibliographer Mike Ashley states "The characters are fully developed…and the writing is tight and powerful".
Genre: Fantasy
The Nine Unknown
A secret society founded by the Mauryan Emperor Asoka around 270 BC is entrusted with preserving knowledge that would be dangerous to humanity if it fell into the wrong hands. The nine unknown men are entrusted with guarding nine books of secret knowledge. In their fight to keep the books secret they face nine Kali worshipers, who sow confusion and masquerade as the true sages. A priest, Father Cyprian, who is in possession of the books wants to destroy them out of Christian piety but a number of other characters are interested in learning their content.
Full Moon
In this highly exciting adventure novel, the author surpasses all his previous feats of imagination. The setting is modern India, dark, brooding, and mysterious-a land of legend and magic. Among the characters of the story are: Wu Tu, the Eurasian madam of a Bombay "house of pleasure" and member of an international underworld gang; Zaman Ali, an Afghan adventurer; Taron Ling, a practitioner of Oriental magic; Brigadier-General Frensham, a reputed crank, who vanishes without a trace; Henrietta, his charming daughter; and Blair Warrender, a police officer whose task it is to find Frensham. As Warrender sets out on his quest, the principal scene becomes the ruined keep of Gaglajung in Rajputa, in whose subterranean caverns is locked a mystery of mysteries. Why, how, and whither did the Brigadier-General vanish?-this is the question which keeps the reader in a constant state of suspense. Here is intrigue, murder and counterplotting as the action mounts to a tremendous climax. And here is a passionate love story-not between adolescents, to whom love might be a mere passing emotion, but between a man and a woman to whom it means something fine, strong, and abiding.
