Produktbeschreibung
It's 1906, a time just after the American gunfighter, and just before the noir detective. A time when men with a certain experience were called upon to solve "difficult" problems. Men like Johann Gunther, former Army officer, former Rough Rider, former Texas lawman, and now owner, operator, along with his old military friend Filipino Jefe Cocoy, of Remedies Investigations in Fort Worth, Texas. Gunther, having served under Teddy Roosevelt in Cuba, finds himself summoned periodically by the President, and in 1906 he's called for a special assignment. His job? To accompany a U.S. and British Army expedition to faraway Afghanistan and find a missing Colonel. Once he arrives, he discovers the Colonel is involved with Russians and warlords in the "Great Game" of turning Afghanistan into a land grab for all the riches of the Asian continent. Join Gunther as he tracks renegade Indians in Montana, then battles foreign spies in a deadly Atlantic crossing. Ride with him as he fights vicious, bloodthirsty tribesmen and political madmen through the Straits of Gibraltar into India and up the Khyber Pass for a climactic battle at a fortress atop the world. (2nd Edition)
