THE LURE
BY
E. S. STEVENS
Author of “The Veil” and “The Mountain of God,” etc.
Crown 8vo, 6s.
The lure of adventure, the lure of a strong and unscrupulous personality, and the lure of the Dark Continent, play their parts in this story. Anne, the woman of the book, comes under the influence of all three, to learn at the last that they have only enchained her imagination and not her heart. A great part of this notable novel takes place in the less known parts of the Soudan, where the main actors in the drama meet and work out their destinies. The background is that vast land of the elephant, the crocodile, and the hippopotamus, where solitary Englishmen are loyally serving their country and civilisation, without vainglory or hope of reward. The Lure will be one of the most remarkable novels of 1912.
