Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The War Terror" by Arthur B. Reeve is a novel written during the early 20th century, likely in the context of World War I. The narrative features the character Craig Kennedy, an inventor and detective, who finds himself embroiled in a web of espionage, assassination plots, and anarchist conspiracies amidst the chaos of war. The book appears to explore the moral complexities and social upheavals triggered by wartime conditions, as the message of the protagonist indicates a struggle against powerful forces seeking to manipulate and destabilize society. At the start of the story, the introduction hints at Kennedy's thrilling adventures that have escalated since the war began, as he encounters various mysterious events connected to a ring of anarchists plotting terror against prominent wartime figures. The opening chapter sets the stage with a frantic visit from Paula Lowe, who reveals her part in a deadly scheme to kill a German diplomat, Baron Kreiger. As the tension heightens, various discussions reveal a broader conspiracy aimed at significant world leaders, suggesting a crisis that Kennedy must navigate in his quest for justice. The unfolding drama seems positioned to question the ethics of warfare, loyalty, and the consequences of radical ideologies during a time of global conflict.
