On April 6, 1926, at the Calcutta Polo Club, Lord Harris is unexpectedly challenged by Herr Hitler to race to the summit of Chomolungma (Mount Everest). Despite Lord Harris's initial shock, he accepts the challenge, embarking on a journey that unfolds from Calcutta to Tibet and Nepal, racing against Herr Hitler and Dr. Graff. The sequel, set against the backdrop of the First World War and the Indian freedom movement, follows the fortunes of Lord Harris, Miss Aabharana Rana, and their sardar Ongdi Nima Ki, as they face unexpected twists and turns. The ultimate battle of mankind against nature reveals the first conqueror of Mt. Everest in this gripping narrative. But where is Dr Chettiar? Does the rivalry between Dr Chettiar and Lord Harris continues?
In "Around the World in Under Eighty Days: Dr. Chettiar v Lord Harris Trilogy: Book One," set in 1907, Lord Harris challenges himself to circumnavigate the globe in less than eighty days. The announcement sparks a race between arch-rivals, Lord Harris and Dr. Chettiar, who, in a bold move, vows to complete the journey faster and without setting foot on British soil or using British transport. As the thrilling race unfolds from Madras to various global destinations, it intertwines with a murder mystery surrounding Governor Roberts. Inspector Davies investigates, revealing a dark underbelly of colonial rule, love, and relationships, leading to an unexpected twist in the end.
