The spy adventure novel “Arabian Adventure” takes place in the early 20th-century Middle East. Here, the interests of the British and French intelligence services—and those of local ruling elites—collide. The French want to get Syria, the English want to give Palestine to the Jews, and Faisal, the third son of the King of Mecca, a representative of Arab authority, finds himself caught between two fires. Who will win is hard to say. One thing is clear: Eastern politics is like a virtuoso game of chess, and as long as the king can make a move, the game isn’t lost.
