Jan in India

By Otis Adelbert Kline

Cut off from his father's yacht in the Bay of Bengal, Jan Trevor enters a world where physical strength alone cannot guarantee survival. Known as "Jan of the Jungle", the American must adapt his exceptional hunting, tracking and wilderness skills to India's unfamiliar coast and jungle, where dangerous animals are only part of the threat. Hostile pursuers, deception and captivity test the instincts that once made the wild his natural domain. Beyond the struggle for survival lies a conspiracy shaped by rival rulers, corrupted authority and the abduction of Ramona Suarez. Jan's search draws him into political and religious peril, where loyalty is uncertain and power can be exercised through imprisonment, manipulation and the threat of sacrifice. Romantic suspense runs through the danger without displacing the novel's central tension: whether a man guided by instinct and self-reliance can recognise the traps created by civilisation. The contrast between wilderness knowledge and courtly intrigue gives the adventure its distinctive momentum. Jan can read tracks, hunt and respond to immediate danger, yet human schemes demand another kind of vigilance. Cross-cultural friendship, questions of identity and the abuse of power deepen a story that moves between jungle survival and the enclosed dangers of palaces, cities and a temple complex. The shifting terrain keeps physical peril closely bound to deception, captivity and divided loyalties. This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions.
