About This Book

The narrative follows a young West Point cadet recently returned from the hospital who leads a secret circle of classmates in a string of episodic adventures that mix pranks, daring rescues, and confrontations with rival cadets. Episodes include disguised excursions to a circus, tests of courage such as breaking up hazing, exploration of a hidden cave, river and camp encounters, and engineered traps and counterplots that escalate into skirmishes and a desperate conspiracy. Through clever improvisation, loyalty, and physical risk the group uncovers schemes against them and brings matters to a climactic resolution.
