Book Description Hard Cover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition, First Impression. Dust jacket complete. Black cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership marks. Double page map. 269 pages clean and tight. 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 Crimean War, as Britons, Turks, Russians and assorted tribal hordes fight for control. Ready to hand for this purpose, Captain Vinegar, soldier of fortune, comes to Constantinople to offer Sir Daniel an alliance with a mountain prince in the Caucasus. But if Sir Daniel has plans for Captain Vinegar, so does Sir Daniel's English rose of a daughter, and so does the Caucasian prince's half-savage daughter - and so does the joker in the pack, the adventurous Quin Hoolaghan. First among the wild tribes of the Caucasus, then in a Kentish country-house, finally in Sir Daniel's Welsh castle, each protagonist seeks to advance his own ambitions at the others' expense. In part a narrative of adventure told by Captain Vinegar himself, in part an account of the hero's attempts to shake off his Oriental entanglements and become a country squire, the conflict between the swashbuckling Captain Vinegar and his more prudent alter ego, Tresham Pitcher, makes The Gate at the End of the World a brilliantly achieved sequel to Captain Vinegar's Commission.
