Book 2 of The Speedicut Memoirs picks up
Charles Speedicut’s story from the point in 1918 at which he
is about to leave for the Crimea to rescue the Dowager
Empress of Russia, a mission which he foresees will be the most
dangerous of his life to date. But Fate intervenes and sends
him back to the Middle East, where he has a hand in the end of
the war in Syria, followed by a series of adventures
rescuing members of deposed European royal families
that ends, with perfect symmetry,
in the Valley of the Kings …

in pursuit of the uneatable.”
Field Marshal Viscount Allenby
“I am deeply indebted to Charles Speedicut for giving me
