Summary

The book describes an adventure story about a gun-runner captured by Arabs and presented to the Mysterious White Sultan, who eventually becomes the Sultan’s second in command in his desert army. It is the first title in the “Sinbad” books in Delphi’s complete edition of Wren’s works, followed by Explosion and Spanish Maine. These are colonial and desert adventure yarns in the same vein as Wren’s Foreign Legion books.
