About This Book

The narrative follows a shadowy intelligence operative who becomes entangled in courtly conspiracy, revolutionary networks, and international plots engineered to provoke a major conflict. Episodes alternate between undercover maneuvers, abduction and escape, clandestine diplomacy, naval sabotage and espionage concerning submarines and fleet movements, and encounters with secret services of rival powers. Interwoven are personal transformations, assumed identities, secret executions, an auction of illicit influence, and even uncanny occurrences that complicate motives and loyalties. The book unfolds as a sequence of linked set pieces and revelations that map the mechanics of political intrigue, the commercial and ideological drivers of war, and the moral ambiguities of spying.

Katherine’s Sheaves

A Great Novel With a Great Purpose

Katherine’s Sheaves is altogether delightful, a charming piece of fiction, a beautiful romance. One must admire the book for its characterization, its brilliant pictures of life, and its dramatic situations, but still more for its philosophy and wisdom.

The story is a dramatic one, abounding in strong situations.

The plot is well conceived and carried out, the style easy and the characters likable.

12mo, Cloth, Illustrated. Popular Edition,

Step by Step

Judged as a story pure and simple, “STEP BY STEP” is altogether delightful. But it is not merely a charming piece of fiction. Ethical in its nature, the underlying thought shows throughout the lofty purpose and high ideals of the author, and exhales a wholesome atmosphere, while the element of romance pervading it is both elevated and enriched by its purity and simplicity.

12mo, Cloth, Illustrated. Popular Edition,

Gertrude Elliot’s Crucible

It is a readable story, clean, wholesome, and high in moral tone—optimistic and constructive.

It has an alluring plot, and is well and skillfully worked out. The incidents are dramatic, and therefore always striking, and the entire romance will hold the attention of the reader.

12mo, Cloth, Illustrated. Popular Edition,

Redeemed

Dealing with divorce—the most vital problem in the world to-day—this book tells how a pure-minded woman is divorced from her husband, upon a flimsy pretext, because he wishes to marry again. How he suffers when he learns that he has thrown away the true disinterested love of a noble woman, and how he craves that love again, makes a vivid, forceful story of an intensely modern significance.
