Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Tom Slade on a Transport" by Percy Keese Fitzhugh is a novel likely written in the early 20th century, around the time of World War I. The story revolves around Tom Slade, a young boy with a tumultuous background, who has evolved from a troubled youth into a responsible scout. As Tom embarks on a journey involving the transport of troops, he finds himself entangled in a web of espionage that threatens his newfound sense of purpose and duty. The opening of the book introduces Tom as he reflects on his past and the friends he has lost along the way. While his earlier mischief haunts him, Tom's growth is evident in his conversations with Pete, a truckman, and his eager anticipation of joining a transport service under a friend, Mr. Conne. However, his encounter with the mysterious and traitorous activities surrounding a fellow passenger on the transport ship ultimately reveals a shocking familial connection. As Tom grapples with revelations about his brother's covert actions, the initial excitement of adventure fades, replaced by a deep sense of conflict and moral obligation. The gripping nature of the opening sets the stage for Tom's journey of self-discovery amidst the backdrop of war and betrayal.
