Rung Ho! a Novel

In 1914, Talbot Mundy delivered a rip-roaring adventure that puts a fierce Englishwoman at the heart of colonial India's boiling tensions. Rosemary McClean rides unaccompanied through the volatile streets of Howrah, defying every convention of her era, and every danger that comes with it. When she encounters Mahommed Gunga, a proud warrior plotting against the British occupiers, and finds herself pursued by the menacing Prince Jaimihr, she must summon courage that could cost her everything. The atmosphere crackles with unrest: natives and foreign rulers locked in a deadly grapple for power, and one young woman standing squarely in the middle of it all. Mundy writes with the kinetic energy of a man who knew India intimately, capturing a revolution brewing beneath the surface while delivering a rattling good yarn. Rosemary is no damsel in distress, she's a force of nature, and the novel endures because it lets a woman drive her own story through some of the most turbulent terrain on earth.
