Summary "The Elephant God" by Gordon Casserly is a novel that appears to be set in the early 20th century. It transports readers to the mystical landscapes of India's Terai Forest, where it intertwines the lives of humans and wildlife, particularly focusing on the interaction between Major Kevin Dermot and a revered elephant named Badshah. The story suggests a broader theme of adventure, as it involves elements of wildlife, military intrigue, and the complexities of human-animal relationships. The opening of the narrative introduces Major Dermot's compassionate character as he intervenes to save Badshah, a one-tusked elephant being cruelly treated. This act of kindness establishes a bond between them, leading to a deep connection that flourishes as the story progresses. Dermot is soon tasked with a secret military mission that involves inspecting mountain passes and detecting signs of treason among local leaders. His adventures in the jungle and his growing admiration for Badshah's loyalty and bravery are set against the foreboding backdrop of rogue elephants and potential conflict. As tensions rise, the novel hints at themes of protection, duty, and the wild beauty of nature in a historical context. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
