An expedition into an uncharted desert region has broken young Mister Hyggens. He wants to go home. The world, however, will give him no such rest. He's dangerous and doubted, yet an international league needs an advisor for a military force entering the very realm that haunts him. An ancient and isolationist country known as The Land of Ten Thousand Princes exists just beyond the desert he has seen—and they are a deadly people. Why would he go back?
"Dykehouse shows a tour de force with a dazzling display of his knowledge of military small unit tactics, candy making, church ritual, sailing ships, aboriginal civilizations and chemical warfare. A toe scrunching good read." -Brigadier General James Mobley, MD (Retired)
