The central character is a personable but unthinking young officer, who comes under the influence of two older men, one representing the tolerant, genuine love of humanity, the other an embittered, sardonic approach to life. Through them, Tubby learns to question rather than to accept and eventually emerges as a human being rather than a figurehead. There is adventure -- and romance -- and a much better than average story. . .KIRKUS REVIEW. . .
