About This Book

Two resourceful adolescent companions operate with a small detachment of troopers during a concentrated campaign along the Marne, carrying out reconnaissance, skirmishes, and a determined defense of key positions. They confront friction with allied officers, suffer capture and betrayal, and mount clandestine raids and infiltrations behind enemy lines that demand daring rescues, escapes, and endurance. Action sequences range from charges and duels to cave fights and hazardous swims, while recurring themes emphasize loyalty, courage, resourcefulness, and the strain of wartime adventure on youthful protagonists.
