| Summary | "The Red Year: A Story of the Indian Mutiny" by Louis Tracy is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the narrative explores the tensions and conflicts that arise between British colonial forces and Indian sepoys. The story introduces key characters such as Frank Malcolm, a British officer, and Winifred Mayne, the niece of a Commissioner, whose fates become intertwined amidst the chaos of the uprising. At the start of the novel, the discontent brewing among the sepoys is sparked by an altercation between a Brahmin sepoy and a Lascar over caste issues related to the British military's use of cartridges. As unrest escalates, Frank Malcolm is introduced, focused on his military duties while developing feelings for Winifred Mayne. The early chapters set the stage for impending violence, with the sepoy rebellion igniting as Malcolm rides through a Meerut ignited by chaos. The atmosphere is charged with drama and a sense of urgency, as the seeds of the Mutiny unfold alongside personal struggles and tensions, foreshadowing the violent conflicts to come.
