“This book belongs in that class of which Anthony Hope’s ‘Prisoner of Zenda’ is the prototype. A brave and resourceful American is thrown into the dynastic plots of a petty imaginary nation in eastern Europe, and plots and counterplots develop in rapid and thrilling succession. One does not need to guess that the American foils the political villains who try to keep Princess Hilma from her throne, nor that he loves the beautiful young queen, and that both sacrifice love to duty.”—Outlook.
“The author has studied the ‘Prisoner of Zenda’ carefully, and has tried to produce another one; even the ‘Dolly dialogue’ form of conversation is attempted. The result written in American language is terrible.”
