Contents

  • Two indolent young men, both ruthless, charming, unscrupulous and avaricious, are the central characters. George Hampton is a gentleman cracks-man known to his associates in London's underworld as 'the Captain', while William Carey is an undergraduate at Cambridge. Their paths cross in London in the early 1850s and again in India a few years later when William is serving as an Ensign in the 84th Bengal Native Infantry. Both meetings are charged with danger and in each William needs all the coolness and courage at his command. The novel culminates in the bloody massacre of 1857 which has gone down in history as the Indian Mutiny, an episode in which William, despite his faults, proves himself a hero in the Carey tradition.
