Set against the backdrop of World War I, with western civilization on the edge of calamity, the first installment in The Explorers Guild series concerns the Guild's quest to find the golden city of Buddhist myth. The search will take them from the Polar North to the Mongolian deserts, through the underground canals of Asia to deep inside the Himalayas, before the fabled city finally divulges its secrets and the globe-spanning journey plays out to its startling conclusion.

Honestly, I don't think I'm actually going to finish this. It's not a bad book, I think my father (a devotee of Kipling & the Flashman series) would've loved it. It just wasn't really gripping me at the moment.
