More than a British officer, Colonel Edwardson is a Company man; a true believer in the notion that British East India Company rule in India is the key to a prosperous empire. If tolerance were the world's only vice, Edwardson would be a man without sin. Edwardson's view of the world rests on his belief in his own abilities and in the discipline of his sepoys.
The bright and loyal Nanib has a future in the ranks of sepoys ("soldiers") serving the British East India Company. While his countrymen groan under the weight of foreign occupation, he counsels patience- until events push him over the edge. Thrust into a position of reluctant command, Nanib rallies the fight for independence.
