"To the casual observer, Captain Colin Huntington, R. N. (Ret.), might seem merely a compulsive gambler.  The penetrating spectator of the human comedy is more likely to see him as a man fated to go through endless gyrations in a vain but continuing effort to escape from himself.  Always he finishes precisely where he started - with the need to start plotting, yet again, a fresh attempt to escape."
