À propos de ce contenu audio
Major Jack Torrance is trying to come to grips with being a spy. Is he always on the side of what's right or is it a matter of not being on the side of what's worse? Events often move too quickly to be able to tell.
The future has been foretold. A guide—the Mahdi—will free Soudan, free Egypt, and topple the corrupt Ottoman Empire. Soudan falls to the Mahdi. The Khedive in Cairo hires Englishman General Charles Gordon to go to Khartoum and evacuate the Egyptians and Europeans trapped within the walled city. Gordon gets there but can’t get out.
Fuelled by jingoism in the press, the English mount an expedition to save Gordon. In advance goes Torrance—a wild card, a One-Eyed Jack—to reason with two fanatics, Gordon and the Mahdi, and get everyone out alive.
