Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Men Who Wrought" by Ridgwell Cullum is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story opens amidst the backdrop of post-World War I Britain, where the characters grapple with the uncertain peace and the looming threat of future conflicts. The narrative primarily revolves around Sir Andrew Farlow, a wealthy shipowner, and his son Ruxton, who are entangled in discussions about the implications of modern inventions and the state of national security following the recent war. At the start of the novel, we witness a tense dinner conversation between Sir Andrew and Ruxton, who reflect on the failures of their country during the war and the necessity of being vigilant against future threats. They discuss the importance of inventors and innovations in securing the nation, setting the stage for the introduction of a mysterious inventor, Charles Smith. As the opening progresses, we are also introduced to an enigmatic woman named Vita Vladimir, who captivates Ruxton with her beauty and urgent quest for his assistance. Their encounter foreshadows a potentially dangerous adventure, as Vita hints at hidden agendas and risks that are crucial for the future of Britain. The reader is left intrigued by the interwoven plots of national duty and personal intrigue that promise to unfold throughout the novel.
