Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Hero of Liège: A Story of the Great War" by Herbert Strang is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on Kenneth Amory, a young Englishman caught in the tense early days of World War I as he grapples with loyalty to his family business in Germany and the rising conflict between the nations. It explores themes of espionage and courage as Kenneth finds himself in a precarious situation. The opening of the story sets the stage for the unfolding conflict, as Kenneth is in Cologne, Germany, working for his father's partner, Max Finkelstein. A conversation among the three characters hints at the brewing war, with Kenneth's loyalty to England contrasted against the dismissive attitudes of his German associates. After overhearing a conspiracy involving the undermining of a bridge in Belgium, Kenneth finds himself arrested under suspicion of being a spy, escalating the stakes. With cunning and determination, he narrowly escapes his predicament, teaming up with a stranger named Lewis Granger to thwart the German plans and ultimately protect his homeland.
