yet the way Seton tells it by giving
you the experiences and the mental
reactions Of Grant while masquer-
aiding as a German officer and pri-
vate in finding out what the plan is,
one gets the impression that if
Grant had not discovered it that
the English army would have been
destroyed.
From the standpoint Of thrills,
'The w Plan has enough for sew
eral books. The entire action is
centered upon Grant at work in
German towns, in the German lines
and even in a prison camp which
was being used as a base for the
w. plan. You are concerned only
in what happens to Grant.
And you hear Grant think to
himself. You see him murder a
German youth in cold blood so he
could get the uniform. You see him
act as a sex machine and even re-
volt at the calnness Of the entire
matter.
You get a lot of straight talk.

IN drawing the character Of the
British spy, Duncan Grant by name,
becomes more than just name in
fction but actually becomes an in
dividual who thinks and acts as a
SPY would act against conditions as
they actually exist in war.
I GOT the feeling that Seton, the
author, actually saw a lot Of the
things that a spy actually expert
ences. One Of the remarkable
things that Grant, the spy, goes
through is that everything could
have happened to him in actual
war. In other words we have real
ism in the actual background of
war and that is seldom found in spy
novels of this modern day.

scheme Of the Germans to tunnel
