It’s the year 1915, and the British and Ottoman Empires are locked in a deadly struggle in the Middle East. Tasked with keeping the Ottomans out of the Suez Canal, Major Andrew Selkirk soon discovers that the true nature of his assignment is to retrieve a Bengali spy, working on behalf of those who vow to see British rule out of India.
Upon landing in the west coast of Palestine, the Major discovers the Ottomans have taken the spy captive. Even more troubling are the plans by both the Ottomans and Germans to draw Afghanistan and Persia into the war against Great Britain.
Fighting a personal feud with a vengeful German, Selkirk leads his men across strife torn Palestine, a land that everybody seems to claim as their own.
