Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Two Daring Young Patriots; or, Outwitting the Huns" by W. P. Shervill is a historical novel written in the early 20th century, likely inspired by World War I events. The story centers around young protagonists, Max Durend and his friend Dale, as they navigate the challenges and dangers of their changing world during the war. The book explores themes of loyalty, bravery, and the moral complexities faced by individuals in times of conflict. The opening of the book introduces the backdrop of a rowing competition at a school, where we meet the main character Max Durend, who is the stroke of his crew—a position of leadership that carries its own challenges and tensions, particularly with an angry teammate named Montgomery. As they prepare for the races, their camaraderie is disrupted by personal conflicts, and we see hints of character development from Max’s leadership and his concerns for his team. Meanwhile, the narrative gradually shifts to explore the impact of the war in Belgium, including Max's family and his father's business. A dramatic turn occurs when Max and Dale become aware of the German invasion and the treachery of those in leadership roles, prompting Max to prioritize loyalty to his country above all. The unfolding political and personal turmoil sets the stage for an action-packed narrative filled with challenges that test their resolve and patriotism.
