Arabian Nights in India, without the magic... Talbot Mundy (born William Lancaster Gribbon) (1879-1940) was an English writer who wrote under the pseudonym Walter Galt. His most famous book is King of the Khyber Rifles: A Romance of Adventure (1916), which is set in India under British Occupation. He wrote many other books and stories, including Hira Singh: When India Came to Fight in Flanders (1918) and a number of stories about Tros of Samothrace, a Greek freedom fighter who aided Britons and Druids in their fight against Julius Caesar. In 1919, Mundy serialized On the Trail of Tippoo Tib, a novel about treasure hunting and ivory poaching in East Africa, which Mundy always claimed was the most autobiographical of his novels. His other works include Rung Ho! (1914), The Winds of the World (1915), The Ivory Trail (1919), Told in the East (1920), The Eye of Zeitoon (1920), The Guns of the Gods (1921), The Bubble Reputation (1923), Caves of Terror (1922), and The Lion of Petra (1922).

Talbot Mundy is almost forgotten now but in his works you see ideas used with more lasting success by Sax Rohmer in his Fu Manchu books and Ian Fleming in his James Bond novels that Mundy's work influenced. In Caves of Terror, a character who seems a sinister version of Gandhi gives two agents of the Strange organisation a frightening tour of a cave beneath an Indian palace where the mystical science of the East is being researched and weaponized.
