Colin Gray, V.C., Secret Service man (who also appeared in the Mark Channing novel “King Cobra”) is sent on a mission to Tibet. On the boat from England he meets beautiful Piers Bryan, called by newspapers the “World’s Most Famous Air-Girl.” Instantly they take a liking to each other that grows with each succeeding day. At Calcutta they part; Piers to fly solo to Peking, and Gray to pursue his secret mission in Tibet. But in the underground caverns below Hlampo lamasery they meet once more, and both are in dire danger of slow, horrible deaths in the sinuous coils of the White Python. One danger follows another until the final breath-taking climax, where Gray struggles with the Python itself!
