Description
In a remote pass of the Caucasus Mountains ‘the Gate at the End of the World’ was closed long ago by a Roman Emperor to mark the limit of Europe and civilization in face of the barbaric wilderness of Asia beyond. But British commercial enterprise, in the portly shape of Sir Daniel Farr, seeks to push open these gates in the disordered times of the Creamean War, as Britons, Turks, Russians and assorted tribal hordes fight for control (fly leaf).
