An Indian prince educated at Eton and Oxford and a young Englishman continuing the work of opening the great road thru Chiltistan begun by his father, are the principal figures in this story which deals with the English rule over India.
“It is a vigorous story, and a strong story—an earnest story also. The lights and shades are cleverly put in, and the narrative in Mr. Mason’s hands becomes a veritable fragment of Doom.”

“The style suffers from a touch of the overemphatic, a slight suggestion of parade in its implication of significances, which the story does not go deep enough to warrant. But in spite of these shortcomings, the author succeeds in conveying to us his own regretful sense of life’s contrasts, ironies, and frustrations.”
