^       It is the height of the Pax Britannica.  While Europe's continental empires 
scramble to check the British Empire in Africa and the Pacific, England's greatest fears
are becoming reality in one of the most desolate spots on the globe.  For Russia has expanded
swiftly across the eastern steppes, and if she finds a way across the roof of the world,
the shining jewel of India lays before her.
