opportunity opens up when a man goes to sign up for the military. His goal was to earn money to pay back that which was stolen previously under his watch. The recruiter would like him to the place of an officer with a few problems like drugges, cowardness, and possible associations with German spies. How could he possibly say no to that adventure.....

very entertaining

This book provides an exciting adventure story during "The Great War," along with a glimpse of English upper class attitudes and mores, at least insofar as they could be expressed in genteel post-Victorian literature. Key characters are a bit too one-dimensional for modern tastes with great emphasis on individuals' bearing and tasteful dress, but the essential story moves along quickly toward a nicely conceived resolution. All in all, an entertaining way to spend a few hours.

This story is a mix of intrigue and suspense coupled with the impersonation of a weak-minded man by a strong-minded one. There's plenty of anti-German sentiment (this is set in WWI and is typical sentiment of the time), but the story itself is good. Thanks for reading this, David!

I throughly enjoyed the book. some Amazon reviews were not so good, but I suspect they are used to faster moving novels that are more bloody and sensual. good book for the era written.
