The Great Prince Shan (1922)

THE GREAT PRINCE SHAN (1922)

Well Germany has failed in the First World War, but what if it were allied with China? Or a grand alliance with Russia?
This is a strange book, more of a romance than a thriller. 
The great Prince Shan, handsome, enigmatic and brilliant falls for a British aristocrat and spy Maggie. Then leaving the Reich in the lurch they float away in his airship to China.
Shan is presented as a remarkably likeable and sympathetic character.

The former admirer of Maggie, Nigel, does his bit with the emissary of the Soviets, Naida. Thus Britain is saved due to the personable charms of our spies. 
Did Ian Fleming read this?
