In 'Caesar' and 'Hussein', Patrick O'Brian's two debut novels appear in one volume for the first time, providing a revealing insight into the literary genius behind the 'Master and Commander' series nearly 40 years later. Caesar is the enchanting, bloodthirsty story of a unique Panda Leopard – whose father was a giant panda, his mother a snow leopard. We see the tragedies of Caesar’s childhood, his capture and taming, and finally his rise to fatherhood under the iron rule of human masters. Hussein is a glittering adventure about a young mahout – or elephant handler – and his life among the elephants. An exotic story of love, murder, vengeance, snake-charming, sword-fighting, spying, stealing and triumph set against the evocative bazaars and temples of India at the height of the British Raj.
