(Wm. Blackwood. 7s. 6d. net.)—The hero of this story—a soldier of fortune—is 'kidnapped by mistake and conveyed by aeroplane to the mountain fastnesses in which a Romanoff Prince and Princess are holding out against the Bolshevists: He puts his sword at the disposal of the.Prince in the exciting campaign, which is doomed by the stern exigency of facts to end in disaster. There- are thrills on every page of the book; and the characters are utterly true to type—the Prince chivalrous, the Princess beautiful, the Bolshevists terrible and_ the Colonel the most gallant of'men.
