I'm feeling quite stressed out at the moment, and just needed something easy and escapist, so to my Robert E. Howard shelf to find this book, unread since I bought it in 1980.
Like most of Howard's contemporary heroes, Kirby O'Donnell is a white, male American, reflective of his original readership, I suppose, and so the narrative is -centric of those things.
Set in Afghanistan, the story mixes pulp adventure with The Great Game politics 👇🏼
