Reception

According to the reviewer in the Western Mail:

Hero and heroine and villain of the piece are well enough drawn; and there is incident enough in the book to satisfy the veriest glutton for sensation; while towards the close of an exciting story the murder trial... finishes in a most unexpected manner. Mr. Arthur Wright has been compared with the late Nat Gould; and as a rule, his books contain even greater dramatic, or melodramatic, possibilities, or impossibilities, than the numerous works of that most prolific writer.[2]

gollark: That actually sounds quite likely.
gollark: Plus the amount of random low-powered stuff running on solar or batteries.
gollark: A post-apocalyptic world would be made more !!FUN!! by how the people with home bunker things are *also* generally packing them with weapons and ready to kill other people to defend themselves.
gollark: I'll find my old Difference Engine and stick it in my bunker.
