India. The British Empire is at the height of its power. The Queen Empress had a considerable reputation for two things: one was interfering in her Ministers' foreign policy, and the other was her far-reaching interest in the affairs of her many children. So it was not surprising that when it was announced that the Grand Duchess Sergius of Russia — Queen Victoria's own granddaughter — would undertake a mission to Nepal, it caused no little stir among the British. Now Queen Victoria's granddaughter has married into the Russian royal family, she needs an escort to take her from Moscow to Nepal by way of India. At home, the Ministers are on edge, wondering why the visit should take place at all, and in India, the Viceroy Lord Elgin was exasperated at having to provide an Army escort for the Regiment of Cossacks who were being allowed to march over British territory. Tensions are stirring. But Captain James Ogilvie of the 114th Queen's Own Royal Strathspeys was soon to discover that this was no ordinary escort duty and he cannot refuse a request from the Queen… These are dangerous times in India and it’s up to Ogilvie to safely guide the Grand Duchess through the tense atmosphere. But is he the right man for the job? Apart from the mystery surrounding the mission, the Grand Duchess travelled in a curtained palanquin, seen by no-one, and her Cossack guard showed only open hostility to the British… Can Ogilvie protect his royal charge and still manage to keep his sights on the possible uprising on the horizon? ‘By Command of the Viceroy’ is the next thrilling historical adventure in the James Ogilvie series. It was originally published under the pen name Duncan MacNeil. Praise for Philip McCutchan: "His character conflicts are well organised." — Daily Telegraph "A most exciting successor to his first novel — and it is just as rugged." — The Times, Hamilton, New Zealand Philip McCutchan (1920-1996) grew up in the naval atmosphere of Portsmouth Dockyard and developed a lifetime's interest in the sea. Military history was an early interest resulting in several fiction books, from amongst his large output, about the British Army and its campaigns, especially in the last 150 years.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Excellent. Strange characters. Frightning monsters. By A Customer The publisher calls this book "the ultimate crustacean encounter," and that it is! The quirky characters and setting enhance the book's appeal. "Twin Peaks" meets "Jaws." The depictions of the sea spiders are among the scariest creature-scenes I've ever read, and some of the attack scenes had me squirming for more. Loaded with fascinating biological facts and oddities. Strange things are born in the ocean's depths... I can't wait until they make a blockbuster movie from this book. It would be more powerful than "Jaws" because the giant sea spiders are more terrifying, more deadly. I notice that the West Coast Review of Books remarked: "Pickover has collaborated on a novel with the prolific Piers Anthony, and the combination of Pickover's theory and Anthony's fantasy should yield an intellectual tour de force without precedent."
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Fascinating, scary, odd characters, great setting By Cougar I enjoyed this book very much for its odd characters and chillingly scary sea creatures. At times, the suspense was very high and the book hard to put down. The New Foundland setting was haunting and beautiful, and I don't think readers will have ever read a book quite like this! It is strange and absurd, biological, mystical, mythical. Hard to describe. You can't go wrong with this book.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A wonderful first novel from Cliff Pickover By A Customer Spider Legs is not your ordinary science fiction book. The characters and motives are different to anything I have read. It remind me a lot of Relic and Relicary, where science, horror and suspense are intermingle together to create one bizarre but enthrilling story. The action is great and really scary. But what I love best is the relationship between Nathalie and Nathan and later Elmo and Lisa. The only thing that I think it was a little overboard was some of the scientic information that take away a little from the story but in itself the information is amazing about sea spider, marine life in general and our pollution situation in the world right now. It is a waking call of a sort about our interaction with Nature and how that can affect us. I really recommend this book if you love the sea and care about our world ecology, with an added amount of action and love to spice up things. ;-) I can't wait for more new science-fiction from Pickover. Also it is nice to see that Piers Anthony collaborate in this novel, adding some really nice dimesion to the characters and situation. Really a very nice combination.
