He has written a most engrossing romance of love, war, intrigue, and adventure which will enlist the immediate attention of those who look to fiction for recreation.

"Mr. Gillman has certainly opened up a new field of fiction. The book is a marvel of power, acute insight, and clever manipulation of thoroughly grounded truths.
