About This Book

The narrative follows two young American volunteers who return from service with Russian forces to join British operations along the Aisne, carrying a secret dispatch from the Russian commander. Reassigned to staff duty, they take part in trench operations, night attacks, scouting and raids that probe enemy lines and intercept conspiracies. Their exploits include an escape by airship, close combat, and courier missions that bring them before senior commanders. Personal losses and wounds affect their circle, and they receive honors for bravery while navigating the hazards of modern warfare and the burdens of loyalty and comradeship.
