The year is 1900 and China is plunged into barbaric chaos. The Boxers, a cult of young peasants who blame the foreign barbarians living in their country, particularly the missionaries, for the nation's ills, are rampaging through the country, killing foreigners. China's Dowager Empress The Dragon Lady secretly encourages them into this maelstrom land, Simon, Alice and Jenkins, as they are enroute to visit Alice's uncle, a country missionary. Threatened by the Boxers, the three escort the missionary and his family to the safety of Peking. En route, the party is attacked by the red-bannered Boxers and the missionary is killed.

This book is part of the excellent series on Britain's late nineteenth and early twentieth century colonial wars, written by John Wilcox. The series, now up to fifteen books, follows the adventures of Simon Fonthill, his companion and batman, "352" Jones, and Fonthill's wife, Alice. These books are very well plotted and written, with enough twists and turns to keep them from becoming boringly predictable. Mr. Wilcox is faithful to the history of the era, which is generally unfamiliar to American readers, such as myself. That the books in the series continue to maintain interest well into the series is a testament to Mr. Wilcox' writing skill.
