It's 1925, and Bandy has finally found a secure post-war job: commander of the Maharajah of Jhamjarh's new air force. The only problem is, the British Raj is not so happy with him for setting up a rival air power inside British India. Between the impractical Maharajah, the British viceroy, and the Great Game being played by the neighbouring state of Khaliwar, Bandy has his hands full trying to keep his employer -- and himself -- out of deadly danger.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
With this volume, Canadian novelist Jack wraps up the humorous fictional memoirs of Bartholomew Bandy, whose madcap adventures cover the decade between 1916 and 1926. Here Bandy is off to India to establish an air force for the Maharajah of Jhamjarh, who fears invasion by a neighboring state. Bandy begins his latest career by drunkenly alienating the new British Viceroy of India, deporting himself in typically unconventional manner. "In my time I've driven quite a few people to drink, distraction, or the Northwest Territories," he admits to his fiancee, lovely Icelander Sigridur Jonsdottir, M.D. Jack's deadpan British humor ("I don't like new experience. I don't like any kind of experience. I'm an academic," a scholar confesses to Bandy) will draw new fans to the blundering triumphs of this lovable rascal.

BAndy Rides Again,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Me So Far (The Bandy Papers, Vol. 7) (Paperback)
The late Donald Jacks created a masterpeice in the 8 volumed chronicles of Bartholamew Bandy. Ranging from his entry into military service in 1916 through his adventures in France, Russia, India, and World War 2. I loved all his books and am sorry there won't be anymore.If you have the opportunity read them in order from volume 1 "THree Cheers for Me" through volume 8 "Stalin versus Me"
