Review

A fine traditional adventure yarn based on a Rudyard Kipling tale and set on the wild North West Frontier of the British Raj. Two penniless adventurers, mistaken for Gods, decide to carve themselves out a kingdom in a remote region of the Himalayas, but when one decides to rule, rather than thieve the jewels, the trouble starts. A meditation on power?
